Maintenance
Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance
operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in
its cooling unit maintenance and
recharging must therefore only be carried
out by authorised technicians.
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling
chamber in form of frost and ice goes
with the operation of the refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating
effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as
the temperature increases and it needs
more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting
cooling compartment 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 - temperature of the
cooling compartment increases and
defrosting occurs. After defrosting the
thermostatic control restarts operation of
the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water
outlet into the evaporative tray maintained
on the top of compressor and evaporates
due to warmth of it.
Check and clean the outlet of
melting water coming during
defrosting regularly. If it is clogged
the melting water gathered can cause
earlier failure as it can go to the
insulating of the appliance.
GB
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.
Occasionally check the defrost water
outlet not to be clogged up.
The most typical case of clogging up in
the defrost water outlet when you put
food wrapped in some paper into the
appliance and this paper contacts back
plate of cooling compartment and
freezes to it. If you remove the food right
at this moment the paper will tear and it
can cause clogging up in the outlet by
getting into it. So you are asked to be
careful - because of the above - when
placing foods wrapped in paper into the
appliance.
In case of increased demand e.g.
during heatwaves, the refrigerator
temporarily happens
constantly - during this the automatic
defrosting is ineffective.
Remaining small ice and frost stains on
back plate of the cooling compartment
after defrosting period is not abnormal.
