DEFROSTING, WASHING AND MAINTENANCE
Never clean the product's casing or plastic parts
using solvents or strong, abrasive detergents (e.g.
washing powders or creams)! Use mild liquid deter-
gents and soft cloths only. Do not use sponges.
Defrosting the fridge
Frost settles on the rear wall of the fridge chamber.
l
It is removed automatically.
The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates
l
(then the frost settles on the rear wall), and defrosts
(water flows down the rear wall)
Disconnect the appliance from the mains
before cleaning by removing the plug
from the mains socket or switching off
the fuse. Prevent water from penetrating
the control panel or the light.
Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may cause
l
the formation of an explosive mixture, or contain
solvents which may damage the plastic compo-
nents of the appliance and even be harmful to
health.
Make sure the water used for cleaning does not
l
flow into the evaporation container through the
discharge opening.
The whole appliance, except for the door gasket
l
must be cleaned with a mild cleaning detergent.
The door gasket should be cleaned with water
and wiped dry.
Wash all the accessories (vegetable containers,
l
door shelves, glass shelves, etc.).
Automatic fridge defrosting
The fridge chamber has been equipped with an
automatic defrosting function. However, frost may
settle on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. This
happens usually, when large quantities of fresh
food products are stored in the fridge.
Automatic fridge defrosting
The freezer chamber has been equipped with
an automatic defrosting function (no-frost). The
food is frozen in the cooled circulation air, and the
moisture from the freezer chamber is discharged
outside. As a result, no ice and frost is produced
in the freezer and the products do not freeze on
each other.
Washing the fridge and freezer chambers
manually
It is recommended to wash the fridge and freezer
chambers at least once a year. This prevents the
formation of bacteria and bad odours. Switch off
the appliance, remove the food from the chambers
and wash them using water with a mild detergent.
Then, wipe the chambers dry with a cloth.
Taking out and putting in the shelves
Slide the shelf out, then slide it in as much as po-
ssible so that its clamp could fit the guide groove
(fig. 15).
Taking out and putting in the door shelf
Lift the door shelf, remove it and put it back from
the top into its required position (fig. 16).
Bulb replacement
Do not replace the light bulbs by yourself. Contact
a Producer's Authorised Service Point.
You must not put an electric heater,
a heating fan or a hair dryer into the
freezer by any means.
