• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables inside
the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed clean-
ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a
strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface clean-
ers contain chemicals that can attack/
damage the plastics used in this appli-
ance. For this reason it is recommended
that the outer casing of this appliance is
only cleaned with warm water with a little
washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment
to the mains supply.
5.2
Defrosting the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from
the evaporator of the refrigerator com-
partment every time the motor compres-
sor stops, during normal use. The de-
frost water drains out through a drain
hole into a special container at the back
of the appliance, over the motor com-
pressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of
the refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and drip-
ping onto the food inside.
5.3
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the
top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
About 12 hours prior to defrost-
ing, set the Temperature regula-
tor toward higher settings , in or-
der to build up sufficient chill re-
serve for the interruption in oper-
ation.
To remove the frost, follow the instruc-
tions below:
1.
Switch off the appliance.
2.
Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put
it in a cool place.
CAUTION!
Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3.
Leave the door open.
In order to speed up the defrost-
ing process, place a pot of warm
water in the freezer compart-
ment. In addition, remove pieces
of ice that break away before de-
frosting is complete.
4.
When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly.
5.
Switch on the appliance.
6.
After two or three hours, reload the
previously removed food into the
compartment.
