Check and clean the outlet of
melting water coming during
defrosting regularly - a label inside
the appliance warns you for this. If it is
clogged the melting water gathered
can cause earlier failure as it can go
to the insulating of the appliance.
Clean the melting water outlet with the
supplied pipe scraper that can be seen in
the figure. The pipe scraper has to be
stored in the outlet.
The most typical case of clogging up in
the melting water outlet when you put
food wrapped in some paper into the
appliance and this paper contacts back
plate of the refrigerator and freezes to it.
If you remove the food right at this
moment the paper will tear and it can
cause clogging up in the outlet by getting
into it.
So you are asked to be careful - because
of
above - when placing foods wrapped in
paper into the appliance.
In case of increased demand e.g.
during heatwaves, the refrigerator
temporarily happens
constantly. During this the automatic
defrosting is ineffective.

to operate
Remaining small ice and frost stains on
back plate of the refrigerator after
defrosting period is not abnormal.
The freezer can not be equipped with
automatic defrosting set since the deep-
frozen and frozen foods do not endure
melting temperature.
Provided it is not too thick, the layer of
frost and ice can be scraped off and
removed using a plastic scraper.
When ice coating is so thick that it cannot
be removed with the plastic scraper, the
cooling plate has to be defrosted.
Frequency of defrosting depends on
usage (generally 2-3 times a year).
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
another refrigerator.
Pull out the mains plug from the mains
socket, so both parts of the appliance are
out of operation.
Open the doors of both parts of the
appliance and clean the refrigerator
according to 'Regular cleaning'. Maintain
and clean the freezer as following:
Sweep the melting water with a cloth or
sponge off the cooling plate. The melting
water swept down gathers in the bottom
of the appliance and can be removed
with a hygroscopic cloth or a sponge.
Wipe the surfaces after defrosting.
Put the mains plug into the mains socket
the
and put foods taken out back to their
places.
It is recommended to operate the
appliance at the highest position of the
thermostatic control for some hours so
that it can reach the sufficient storing
temperature as soon as possible.
