Hints and ideas

In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about
how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy saving
and there is environmental information about the appliance
as well.

How to save energy

Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near
anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are well
ventilated. Do not cover the sections where ventilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to
avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary and
avoid unnecessary openings.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are at
room temperature.
Keep the condenser clean.

The appliance and environment

This appliance does not contain gasses which could
damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or
insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded
together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging
the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat
exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be
obtained from your municipal authorities.
The materials used on this appliance marked with the
sympol are recyclable.

Maintenance

Defrosting

Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers 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 in the
cooling chambers, they need more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling surface of
the refrigerator is automatic without any external
intervention.The thermostatic control interrupts the
operation of compressor at regular intervals for more or less
time - during this cooling is interrupted - the temperature of
the cooling surface goes above 0 °C due to interior heating
load of the compartment, so defrosting occurs. When the
surface temperature of the cooling surface has reached +3
- +4 °C the thermostatic control restarts operation of the
system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet leaded
through the back into the evaporator tray maintained on the
top of compressor and evaporates due to its warmth.
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.
