DEFROSTING AND CLEANING
Defrosting
• The surface of the evaporator ices up when the refrigerator
is working. This is an entirely normal part of operation. If the
frost layer is more than 3mm thick, the cooler must be de-
frosted and cleaned to avoid unnecessary energy consump-
tion and inefficient operation.
1. Remove all items inside and unplug the unit.
2. After defrosting, reset the temperature selector to original
position.
Cleaning

2. Wash the interior with warm water and neutral detergent.
3. Dry all surfaces thoroughly.
Note: Do not use abrasive cleaners!

cooler should be cleaned thoroughly. Use mild soapy water
to clean the door seal.
Moving your Cooler

Note: Never hold the appliance by the door.

necessary in order to conserve cold air.
