Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out
you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the
electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as these will damage
the surface and leave a strong odour.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and
the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or
vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the
performance of the appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.
When the Appliance is not in Use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and
clean the appliance, leaving the door open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in form
of frost and ice goes with the operation of the applince.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces
cooling efficiency as the temperetaure increases in the
cooling chambers, they need more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling surface of
the refrigerator is automatic without any external
intervention. The termostatic control interrupts the
operation of compressor at regular intervals for more or less
time - during this cooling is interrupted - the temperature of
the cooling surface goes above 0°C due to interior heating
load of the compartment, so defrosting occurs. When the
surface temperature of the cooling surface has reached +3
- +4°C the thermostatic control restarts operation of the
system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet leaded
through the back into the evaporator tray maintained on the
