MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Defrosting the appliance
Automatic defrost of the refrigeration compartment
The refrigeration compartment defrosts automatically from time to time. The presence of water
drops on the back wall at the inside of the refrigerator indicates that the appliance is busy
defrosting automatically. The defrost water runs through the drain channel to a receptacle where
it evaporates.
Ensure that the drain outlet is clean. You can clean a clogged drain with a satay stick, for
example.
Defrosting the frozen compartment
After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the frozen compartment. The frost,
accumulated in the frozen compartment, should be removed periodically. If the frost layer
exceeds 3-5 mm, it is necessary to defrost the frozen compartment completely to maintain the
efficiency of the frozen compartment.
Activate the intensive freezing function 24 hours before you plan to defrost the freezer.
•
Before defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in
a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to
use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
•
Switch off the appliance.
•
Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the
compartment.
•
Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be
hazardous to health.
•
Water collected at the bottom basket of the appliance should be mopped with a sponge or
highly absorbing cloth.
•
Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Never use abrasive
products or aggressive cleaning agents.
•
Dry the inside of the unit, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob to the lowest
temperature setting. After 24 hours, set the thermostat to the normal position.
