Cleaning And Maintenance; Defrosting - Exquisit EKS 131-6 F A++ Guide D'utilisation

5 CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the unit from the power
supply before cleaning.
Do not wash your appliance by
pouring water on it.
Do not use abrasive products,
detergents or soaps for cleaning the
appliance. After washing, rinse with clean
water and dry carefully. When you have
finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the
mains supply with dry hands.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp
housing and other electrical components.
• The appliance should be cleaned
regularly using a solution of bicarbonate
of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately by
hand with soap and water. Do not wash
accessories in a dish washer.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at least
twice a year. This will help you to save on
energy costs and increase productivity.
The power supply must be
disconnected during cleaning.

5.1 Defrosting

Defrosting the Refrigerator
Compartment
• Defrosting occurs automatically in
the refrigerator compartment during
operation. The water is collected by
the evaporation tray and evaporates
automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain
hole should be cleaned periodically with
the defrost drain plug to prevent the
water from collecting at the bottom of the
refrigerator instead of flowing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by
pouring half a glass of water down it.
Defrosting the Freezer Compartment
Frost accumulated in the freezer
compartment should be removed regularly
(using the plastic scraper provided). The
freezer compartment should be cleaned
in the same way as the refrigerator
compartment, with the defrost function, at
least twice a year.
For this:
• The day before you defrost, set the
thermostat dial to position "5" to freeze
food completely.
• During defrosting, frozen food should
be wrapped in several layers of paper
and kept in a cool place. The inevitable
rise in temperature will shorten its
storage life. Remember to use this food
within a relatively short period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position "•"
and disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Leave the door open until the
unit is completely defrosted.
• To accelerate the defrosting process,
place one or more bowls of warm water
in the freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and
set the thermostat knob to the MAX
position.
