Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling
chamber in form of frost and ice goes
with the operation of the appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating
effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as
the temperature increases and needs
more energy.
After removing the freezing shelf it is
possible to scrape off and remove
smaller frost and ice with the enclosed
ice scraper.
The tray in figure is not a piece of
accessories to the appliance!
When ice coating is so thick that it can
not be removed with the frost scraper
defrosting is necessary. Its frequency
depends on usage.
How to defrost it:
4-5 hours before starting defrosting turn
the thermostatic control knob to
"SUPER" position so that the stored
foods can refrigerate well.
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Take the frozen foods out of the
appliance and put them into a basket
lined with paper or cloth. Store them in a
possibly cool place or replace them into
a frozen or fresh food compartment of a
refrigerator.
Leave the door open.
Regular cleaning
It is practical to clean the inside of the
freezer and defrost it at a time.
Household cleaner or soap must not be
used.
After breaking the circuit wash the
appliance using lukewarm water and
wipe it.
Clean the door gasket with clean water.
After cleaning apply voltage to the
appliance.
It is recommended to remove the dust
and dirt collected on the back of the
appliance and the condenser once or
twice a year.
Maintenance
Sweep off melting water, which gathers in
the outlet channel practically formed in
the bottom of the appliance, occasionally
with a cloth or sponge in direction of
sides. It can be removed if you put an
adequately high tray in front of the
appliance, which defrost water will flow
into.
Defrosting process can be made quicker
by placing a pot or dish filled with warm
water to the freezing shelf.
After defrosting wipe the wet surfaces.
Apply voltage to the appliance.
Put the foods back.
