Defrosting the cold storage compartment
The cold storage compartment is designed for automatic defrosting.
Frost formed on the back wall
will melt and flow via the drainpipe to the evaporating container over
the compressor on the back of the refrigerator, where the heat gener-
ated by the compressor will evaporate the water.
Note: Always keep the drain over the vegetable and fruit tray
clear to ensure the normal flow of defrosted water. Use the rod
provided to clear any blockages.
Cleaning
The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to prevent the formation of bad odours.
• Disco nect the power before cleaning the refrigerator.
• Do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, gasoline or other solvents, hot water, acid or alkali for
cleaning.
• Wipe water drops on the surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth.
• Do not use excessive amounts of water for cleaning the refrigerator
• Use a dry cloth to clean the switch, the lamp and the temperature controller.
• Always keep the rubber door seal clean.
• Clean the back and sides of the refrigerator regularly.
Cessation of Operation
• If the power failure lasts for an extended period, unplug the refrigerator and clean the refrigerator as previ-
ously described.
• Keep the door of refrigerator open when the power is turned off to prevent any food remaining in the
compartment from producing bad odours.
Power failure
• Even in summer, food can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours after a power failure.
• Do not put additional food into the refrigerator during a power failure.
• Avoid opening the door during power failures.
• If prior notice of a power failure is given, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the cold
storage compartment.
Note: temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power failure or in the event of technical prob-
lems, and the storage period will be reduced.
