Maintenance and Cleaning
Defrosting
1. When the refrigerator is working for a long period of time, the inner surface of the chilled
room will be covered with a layer of white frost. It may raise the electricity consumption
and lessen the effect of refrigeration. Then you should do frost removal at once.
2. The refrigerator compartment has semiautomatic defrosting. The defrosting push button
(DEF) is in the centre of temperature control selector.
3. While defrosting, press the button, the compressor ceases to work, and the temperature
rises +5 -+8°C. Defrosting button restores automatically, the circuit is on again and the
compressor works.
4. After defrosting, clear away defrosting water in drip tray as soon as possible.
Warning: the amount of ice which forms on the back wall may vary with
changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity), the frequency
with which the door is opened, the appliance's operating temperatures and
the amount of fresh foods stored inside (especially fruit and vegetables).

Cleaning the refrigerator

• Before cleaning, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains. Clean the outside using only
water and a gentle liquid detergent or an ordinary detergent for washable surfaces (such
as a window-cleaning product). Never use products containing abrasives or substances
which may attack the lacquered or painted parts, acids or chemical solvents. Use a sponge
or a soft cloth.
• Do not use steam cleaners to clean the inside;
• Remove the shelves and accessories, taking care not to apply excessive force when
removing. Never wash removable plastic parts in the dishwasher; use only warm water and
washing-up liquid or water and vinegar. Take care not to wet the electrical lighting
components with water or detergents.
• Clean the gaskets with warm water and then dry.
•
To allow the refrigerator to operate at full efficiency, periodically also clean the condenser
on the rear with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
•
Also make a periodic check on the tray above the compressor and clean it if necessary.

Switching off the refrigerator

If the refrigerator is to be out of use for some time, turn the thermostat knob to 0 (stop). Then
empty the compartments, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains, and once it has
defrosted dry any residual moisture which has collected. Leave the door ajar to prevent the
humidity and trapped air from creating unpleasant smells.
