Defrosting Frozen Food
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as
possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy

Maintenance and Cleaning

Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice
depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted automatically.
Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during the compressor
operation; later on, when the compressor is not operating ice is
defrosting and water drops collect and drain through the outlet
in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the
compressor, from where it evaporates.
Manual Defrosting of the Freezer
When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 3-5 mm thick, you
should clean the freezer.
• Few hours before defrosting set the thermostat to position 7,
so that packages are well frozen. Reset the thermostat to
STOP (0) position and disconnect the power supply. Empty
the freezer and take care that the packages remain frozen.
• Insert the enclosed pipe into the groove in the bottom of the
appliance and place a vessel underneath to collect the
defrost water. Defrosting is accelerated if the door is left
open.
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage
to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.
Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the
appliance.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you can
damage the surface. Be careful to remove any cleanser agent
remaining after cleaning.
• Clean the exterior with water and detergent.
Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth and an
alcohol based cleaning agent (for example glass cleaners).
You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol).

microorganisms which rapidly activate after defrosting and
make foods perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods,
especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals.
The application of abrasive and specially aggressive
cleaners, such as the stainless steel cleaners, is not
appropriate for the cleaning of plastic and coated parts.
• Remove the detachable accesories in the interior of the
appliance and clean it with water and liquid detergent.
Plastic parts cannot be washed in washing machine.
• Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, in
which you added one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.
• Every now and then wipe the condenser on the rear wall.
Use soft non-metal brush or vacuum cleaner.
• Do not forget to clean also the defrost water receptacle
above the refrigerator compressor (do not remove the
receptacle).
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and
reload the packages.
Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period, set
the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position, disconnect the
power supply, take out the foods and defrost and clean the
appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
