Cleaning and care
For hygienic reasons, the appliance interior,
including interior accessories, should be
cleaned regularly.
The appliance should be cleaned and
maintained at least every two months.
Warning! Danger of electrical shock!
The appliance should not be connected
to the main power supply during
cleaning. Before cleaning, switch the
appliance off and remove the plug from
the main power supply, switch off, or
shut off the circuit breaker of fuse.
Notice!
Remove the food from the appliance
before cleaning. Store them in a cool
place and keep well covered.
Never clean the appliance with a steam
cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in
electrical components.
Hot vapors can lead to the damage of
plastic parts.
Ethereal oils and organic solvents can
attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or
the juice from an orange peel, butyric
acid, or cleansers that contain acetic acid.
Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
Clean the appliance and the interior
accessories with a cloth and lukewarm
water. Commercially available dish
washing detergents may also be used.
After cleaning, wipe with fresh water and
a clean dish cloth.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser
increases energy consumption; clean the
condenser at the back of the appliance
once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum
cleaner.(Only for the outside-condenser
product)
Check the water drain hole on the rear
wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Clear a blocked drain hole with the aid of
something like soft green peg, an be
careful not to create any damage to the
cabinet by sharp objects.
After everything is dry, the appliance back
into service.
Defrosting
Defrosting in the fresh food
storage compartment
Water from the defrosting option will
automatically be drained into a drip tray
through a drain pipe at the back of the
appliance.
Defrosting in the frozen food
storage compartment
Defrosting in the freezer chamber is
operated manually. Before defrosting,
take the foot out.
Tale the ice tray and drawers out or put
them into the fresh food compartment
temporarily.
Set the knob of the temperature regulator
to the "0" (where the compressor will
stop working) and leave the door of the
refrigerator open until ice and frost
dissolve thoroughly and accumulate at
the bottom of the freezer chamber. Wipe
out the water with soft cloth.
In order to speed up the process of
defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm
water (about 50℃) into the freezer
chamber and scrape away the ice and
frost with a defrosting spatula. After
doing so, be sure to set the knob of the
temperature regulator to the original
position.
It is not advisable to heat the freezer
chamber directly with hot water or hair
dryer while defrosting to avoid
deformation of the inner case.
It is also not advisable to scrape off ice
and frost or separate foods from the
containers which have been congealed
together with the food with sharp tools or
wooden bars, so as not to damage the
inner casing or the surface of the
evaporator.
Warning! To switch off the appliance before
defrosting, turn the temperature regulator to
the "0" position.
Notice! The appliance should be defrosted
at least once a month. During its usage, if
the door has been used in extreme
humidity, we advise the user to defrost
every two weeks.
