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.
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.

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.
