Defrosting

Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber 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 increas-
es, it needs more energy, at a certain thickness it does
not allow the door of the freezing compartment to open,
possibly the door can be broken.
It is possible to scrape off and remove smaller frost and
ice with the enclosed ice scraper.
The tray in figure is not a piece of accessories to the
appliance!
When ice coating is so thick that it can not be removed
with the frost scraper defrosting is necessary. Its fre-
quency depends on usage.
How to defrost it:
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Take the frozen foods out of the appliance and put them
into a basket lined with paper or cloth. Store them in a
possibly cool place or replace them into a frozen or
fresh food compartment of a refrigerator.
Leave the door open.
Sweep off the melting water occasionally with a cloth or
sponge in direction of sides which gathers in the outlet
channel practically formed in the bottom of the appli-
ance and can be removed as follows:
Put an tray high enough in front of the appliance. Pull
out defrost water outlet placed in the middle of the bot-
tom of the appliance carefully in the direction of the
arrow. Defrost water will flow into the tray through the
outlet.
Defrosting process can be made quicker by placing a
pot or dish filled with warm water to the cooling plate
formed as a shelf.
After defrosting wipe the surfaces and push defrost
water outlet back.
Apply voltage to the appliance.
After the red light has gone out put the foods back.

Regular cleaning

It is practical to clean the inside of the freezer and
defrost it at a time.
Household cleaner or soap must not be used.
After breaking the circuit wash the appliance using luke-
warm water and wipe it.
Clean the door gasket with clean water.
After cleaning apply voltage to the appliance.
It is recommended to remove the dust and dirt collect-
ed on the back of the appliance and the condenser
once or twice a year.
