CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE

Winter mode (mode 2)

The bottom compartment in the refrigerator will not be as cool.

While defrosting, winter mode should be used.

Cleaning

•  Before cleaning your fridge, turn your mains supply off and remove the plug from the socket.

• 

Do not wash your fridge by pouring water on to it.

• 

Use a warm, soapy cloth or sponge to wipe the interior and exterior of your fridge.

• 

Carefully remove all shelves and drawers by sliding upwards or outwards and clean with soapy water. Do not 

wash in a washing machine or dishwasher.

• 

Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all purpose cleaning agents to clean your fridge. This 

may cause damage to the plastic surfaces and other components with the chemicals they contain.

• 

Clean the condenser at the back of your fridge at least once a year with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.

Make sure that your fridge is unplugged while cleaning.

Defrosting

Excessive frost will affect the performance of the refrigerator. The ice making compartment should be defrosted at least 

twice a year, or when ice exceeds 7 mm thick.

For this;

•  Make sure that drain tray flap is in place. (Set the Winter mode. At the end of defrosting set the previous mode 

depending on the ambient temperature - Winter or Summer mode)

• 

The day before you defrost the freezer, set the thermostat dial to 5 to freeze the foods completely.

• 

During 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  the  refrigerator  off  at  the  socket  outlet  and  pull  out  the 

mains plug.

• 

Leave the door open. To accelerate the defrosting process one 

or more basins of warm water can be placed in the freezer 

compartment.

• 

Dry the inside of the unit and dripping tray with a sponge or a clean 

cloth and set the thermostat knob to 5.

The hole at the bottom of refrigerator at the back is closed and has no effect 

on the product’s cooling system.
