Instructions for Use

Defrosting Frozen Food

Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as

possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy

microorganisms

which rapidly activate after defrosting and make foods

perishable.

Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods,

especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals.

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.

 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.

 Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage

to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.

Cleaning the Appliance

Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the

appliance.

Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you can

damage the surface.

Be careful to remove any cleanser agent remaining after

cleaning.

 Clean the exterior with water and detergent.

Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth and an

alcohol based cleaning agent (for example glass cleaners).

You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol).

The application of abrasive and specially aggressive

cleaners, such as the stainless steel cleaners, is not

appropriate for the cleaning of plastic and coated parts.

 Remove the detachable accesories in the interior of the

appliance and clean it with water and liquid detergent.

Plastic parts cannot be washed in washing machine.

 Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, in

which you added one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.

 Every now and then wipe the condenser on the rear wall.

Use soft non-metal brush or vacuum cleaner.

 Do not forget to clean also the defrost water receptacle

above the refrigerator compressor (do not remove the

receptacle).

After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and

reload the packages.

Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use

If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period, set

the thermostat knob to the STOP position, disconnect the

power supply, take out the foods and defrost and clean the

appliance. Leave the door slightly open.

Trouble-Shooting Guide

During the service, you can come across some troubles that in

most cases result from improper handling of the appliance and

can easy be eliminated.

The Appliance Fails to Operate After connecting to the

Mains Supply

 Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the

appliance is switched on (thermostat in operating position).

Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating System

 The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too

long.

 The door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the

gasket may be polluted or damaged).

 Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh

foods.

 The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor

and condenser (assure adequate air circulation and wipe off

the condenser).

 Continuous operation button activated (see section Freezing

of Food).

Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall

As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through

the opening to the drain pan on the compressor, automatic

defrosting of the appliance is assured.

In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (3-

5 mm), ice should be manually defrosted.

Set the thermostat knob to STOP position and leave the door

open. Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not

scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp objects.

After completed defrosting, turn the knob to desired position

and close the refrigerator door.

The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the

following:

 the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is

contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged);
