Maintenance and Cleaning

Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator

There is no need to defrost the refrigerator,
because ice depositing on the inner back wall is
defrosted automatically. Ice is depositing on the
inner back wall during the compressor operation;
later on, when the compressor is not operating ice
is defrosting and water drops collect and drain
through the outlet in the inner back wall into the
drain pan situated above the compressor, from
where it evaporates.

Manual Defrosting of the Freezer

When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 3-5
mm thick, you should clean the freezer.

Instructions for Use
Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and the recommended
temperature for storing commercially frozen foods
are indicated on the packaging. For storing and
using consider the manufacturer's instruction.
When shopping, be careful and choose only
adequately packed foods provided with complete
data and stored in freezers where the temperature
is not higher than -18°C. Do not buy packages of
food covered with frost layer. This indicates that
the package was thawed before at least once. Be
careful that packages don't start to thaw, as the
temperature raise reduces the quality of foods.

rapidly activate after defrosting and make foods
perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the
nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits,
vegetables and ready-made meals.
• Few hours before defrosting set the thermostat
to position 7, so that packages are well frozen.
Reset the thermostat to STOP position and
disconnect the power supply. Empty the freezer
and take care that the packages remain frozen.
• Insert the enclosed pipe into the groove in the
bottom of the appliance and place a vessel
underneath to collect the defrost water.
Defrosting is accelerated if the door is left open.
