DEFROSTING, WASHING AND MAINTENANCE

Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may cause

the formation of an explosive mixture, or contain

solvents which may damage the plastic compo-

nents of the appliance and even be harmful to

health.

Make sure the water used for cleaning does not

flow into the evaporation container through the

discharge opening.

The whole appliance, except for the door gasket

must be cleaned with a mild cleaning detergent.

The door gasket should be cleaned with water

and wiped dry.

Wash all the accessories (vegetable containers,

door shelves, glass shelves, etc.).

Defrosting the fridge

Frost settles on the rear wall of the fridge chamber.

It is removed automatically.

The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates

(then the frost settles on the rear wall), and defrosts

(water flows down the rear wall)

Disconnect the appliance from the mains

before cleaning by removing the plug

from the mains socket or switching off

the fuse. Prevent water from penetrating

the control panel or the light.

Taking out and putting in the shelves
Slide the shelf out, then slide it in as much as po-

ssible so that its clamp could fit the guide groove

(fig. 15).
Taking out and putting in the door shelf
Lift the door shelf, remove it and put it back from

the top into its required position (fig. 16).
Bulb replacement
Do not replace the light bulbs by yourself. Contact

a Producer’s Authorised Service Point.

You must not put an electric heater,

a heating fan or a hair dryer into the

freezer by any means.

Never clean the product’s casing or plastic parts

using solvents or strong, abrasive detergents (e.g.

washing powders or creams)! Use mild liquid deter-

gents and soft cloths only. Do not use sponges.

Automatic fridge defrosting
The fridge chamber has been equipped with an

automatic defrosting function. However, frost may

settle on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. This

happens usually, when large quantities of fresh

food products are stored in the fridge.
Automatic fridge defrosting
The freezer chamber has been equipped with

an automatic defrosting function (no-frost). The

food is frozen in the cooled circulation air, and the

moisture from the freezer chamber is discharged

outside. As a result, no ice and frost is produced

in the freezer and the products do not freeze on

each other.

Washing the fridge and freezer chambers

manually
It is recommended to wash the fridge and freezer

chambers at least once a year. This prevents the

formation of bacteria and bad odours. Switch off

the appliance, remove the food from the chambers

and wash them using water with a mild detergent.

Then, wipe the chambers dry with a cloth.
