Defrosting
Defrosting should be carried out whenever the frost layer exceeds a thickness of 1/8 of an
inch. This is necessary to guarantee efficient refrigeration and to avoid excessive power
consumption. Excess frost buildup will effect the appliance’s performance.
To completely defrost, turn the appliance OFF. Keep the door/lid open to minimize the
defrosting time.
Do not attempt to remove the frost layer using any sharp metal instruments. This could
pierce the appliance plate and cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
After defrosting, dry the entire interior surfaces, and then turn the appliance ON.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the power supply. If necessary, remove the
plug from the power socket.
Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior with warm and then with cold water. Dry with a soft cloth. Avoid use of
abrasive products.
Cleaning the Interior
Remove racks, containers, and ice trays. Clean the interior using warm water mixed with
baking soda or vinegar. Rinse and dry carefully with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive
products, detergents or soap. In the case of prolonged disuse, to avoid the formation of
mold or unpleasant odors, remove plug from socket, empty the unit completely, clean the
interior, and leave the door/lid ajar.
Cleaning the Condenser
Clean the condenser at least once a year using a vacuum cleaner or dry brush.
Do not clean with sharp objects.
