Cleaning And Maintenance - BOMANN KS 7248 Instruction Manual

• Defrost (model dependent) and clean the appli-
ance thoroughly (see
nance"
).
• Leave open the appliance door to avoid formation
of mold and unpleased odors.
Tips for Energy saving
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply if
it isn't in use.
• Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters
or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient
temperatures, the compressor will run more fre-
quently and longer.
• Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear
side. Never block ventilation openings.
• Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on
the model) in their original position.
• Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary.
• Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the
appliance.
• Open the appliance door only as necessary.
• Defrost the unit regularly (model dependent).
• The seal of the appliance door must be complete-
ly intact, so that the door closes properly.

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING:
• Always disconnect the appliance from the power
supply before cleaning and user maintenance.
• Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appli-
ance; moisture could enter electrical components.
Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage
the plastic parts.
• The unit must be dry before restarting operation.
CAUTION:
• Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive
items.
• Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
"Cleaning and Mainte-
Cleaning the appliance including interior
• Clean the appliance interior, the exterior surfaces,
the accessories and the door seal regularly with
warm water and mild detergent; or with a clean,
damp microfiber cloth without cleaning agent.
• Remove the appliance content and storage it at a
cool location.
• Clean the thaw water discharge channel / opening
carefully e.g. with a pipe cleaner.
• After everything was thoroughly dried, you can
restart the operation.
Depending on model:
•
the dust that has accumulated on the appliance
back and condenser (metal grille). To do this, use
a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Defrosting
CAUTION:
Never use metal objects (e.g. knifes) to remove ice
from the evaporator, it can be damaged.
The fridge has a semi-automatic defrosting system.
During defrosting water drops drains off at the back
of the cooling chamber. The thaw water running
through a channel, is collected in a drip tray located
on the compressor, where it will evaporate. Make
sure the water discharge opening does not get
clogged. A light formation of ice on the interior back
during operation is normal.
A permanently high-power level can lead to in-
creased ice formation. In this case, the fridge can be
defrosted manually
To achieve better cooling and to save energy, defrost
the freezer manually regularly as follows:
• To start the defrosting process, disconnect the
appliance from the power supply.
• Remove the food items and keep covered at a
cool location.
