VI. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
ICING
Defrosting the refrigerator:
Defrosting your refrigerator occurs at every compressor stop. No
intervention on your part is necessary.
During operation there is the appearance of drops of condensation or
ice on the rear wall. They will be eliminated during deicing described
below. The produced water will flow through the drain hole and will be
collected in the tank located on the compressor from which it will
evaporate.
Defrosting the low temperature compartment:
In order to allow the appliance to function properly, it is necessary to
defrost at least once a year or when the ice layer is greater than 10 mm.
From time to time you can remove the layer of ice that has formed with a
squeegee or other plastic instrument.
NEVER USE A METAL INSTRUMENT OR ELECTRIC APPLIANCE TO
DEFROST.
CAUTION :
When defrosting, never use sharp or metallic objects to remove ice from
the evaporator surface to avoid damaging the evaporator surface.
Reconnect the power again after more than 15 minutes.
To defrost:
To defrost the device, choose a time when your device is not too charged.
Remove all food, put it in another refrigerator or in a very cool place. Set
the thermostat to the off position (0), unplug the appliance and open the
door. Once the frost is melted, remove the water and dry the inside of the
refrigerator.
Wait 15 minutes and then reconnect the device. You can then restart the
refrigerator by turning the thermostat to the desired setting.
Excessive ice build up will affect the cooling performance of your device.
It is therefore recommended to defrost your appliance at least twice a
year or whenever the ice builds up.
Defrost your appliance when there is little or no food.
