Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or
cleaning is carried out you must
DISCONNECT the appliance from the
electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with
warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5
ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER use detergents,
abrasive powders, highly perfumed
cleaning products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as these will
damage the surface and leave a
strong odour.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy
water.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser
(black grille) and the compressor at the
back of the appliance with a brush or
vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of
dust will affect the performance of the
appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.
When the Appliance is not in Use
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, disconnect from the electricity
supply, empty all foods and clean the
appliance, leaving the door open to
prevent unpleasant smells.
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling
chambers in form of frost and ice goes
with the operation of the appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating
effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as
the temperetaure increases in the
cooling chambers, they need more
energy.
This appliance defrosts the cooling
surface of the refrigerator without any
external intervention. The termostatic
control interrupts the operation of
compressor at regular intervals. During
this cooling is interrupted - the
temperature of the cooling surface goes
above 0°C due to interior heating load of
the compartment, so defrosting occurs.
When the surface temperature of the
cooling surface has reached +3 - +4 °C
the thermostatic control restarts
operation of the system.
Water flows through the defrost water
outlet through the back into the
evaporator tray which sits on the top of
compressor and evaporates due to its
warmth.
Check and clean the defrost
water outlet regularly - a label
inside the appliance warns you about
this. If it is blocked the defrost water
can cause damage to the insulation of
the appliance.
Clean the melting water outlet with the
supplied pipe scraper that can be seen in
the figure.
The pipe scraper should be stored in the
outlet.
Extra care should be taken when putting
wrapped food, especially in paper, in the
appliance. Blockages to the defrost
water outlet often occurs when wrapped
foods are placed in the back of the
refrigerator, and the wrapping contacts
the back plate of the fridge and sticks to
it.
