damage the cooling system.

CAUTION! When moving the cabinet,

lift it by the front edge to avoid

scratching the floor.

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with

lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean

to ensure they are clean and free from debris.

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. If accessible, clean the condenser and the

compressor at the back of the appliance with a

brush.

This operation will improve the performance of

the appliance and save electricity consumption.

DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Frost is automatically eliminated from the

evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every

time the motor compressor stops, during normal

use. The defrost water drains out through a trough

into a special container at the back of the

appliance, over the motor compressor, where it

evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water

drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator

compartment channel to prevent the water

overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.

CAUTION! Never use sharp metal

tools to scrape off frost from the

evaporator as you could damage it. Do

not use a mechanical device or any

artificial means to speed up the

thawing process other than those

recommended by the manufacturer. A

temperature rise of the frozen food

packs, during defrosting, may shorten

their safe storage life.

About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set

a lower temperature, in order to build

up sufficient chill reserve for the

interruption in operation.

A certain amount of frost will always form on the

freezer shelves and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a

thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out electrical

plug from the wall socket.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several

layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place. 

WARNING! Do not touch frozen

goods with wet hands. Hands can

freeze to the goods.

3. Leave the door open.

In order to speed up the defrosting process,

place a pot of warm water in the freezer

compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice

that break away before defrosting is complete.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior

thoroughly and keep the scraper for future use.

5. Switch on the appliance.
After three hours reload the previously removed

food into the freezer compartment.

PERIODS OF NON-OPERATION
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,

take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity

supply.

2. Remove all food.

3. Defrost (if necessary) and clean the appliance

and all accessories.

4. Clean the appliance and all accessories.

5. Leave the door/doors open to prevent

unpleasant smells.
