Maintenance and Cleaning
Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on the
inner back wall is defrosted automatically.
Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during the compressor operation;
later on, when the compressor is not operating ice is defrosting and water
.drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain
pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates.
Manual Defrosting of the Freezer
When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 1/8“ thick, you should clean the
freezer.
• Few hours before defrosting set the thermostat to position 7, so that
packages are well frozen. Reset the thermostat to STOP (0) position and
disconnect the power supply. Empty the freezer and take care that the
packages remain frozen.
• Leave the door open for a while so that you can easy scrape off the frost.
Use the plastic scraper but be careful not to damage the inner surfaces of
the freezer.
Wipe up the scraped frost and ice before it is completely defrosted.
