Maintenance
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance
operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and
recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians.
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form of frost and ice
goes with the operation of the refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency
as the temperature increases and it needs more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting cooling compartment is automatic
without any external intervention.
The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of compressor at regular
intervals for more or less time - during this cooling is interrupted - temperature
of the cooling compartment increases and defrosting occurs. After defrosting
the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet into the evaporative tray
maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates due to warmth of it.
Check and clean the outlet of
melting water coming during
defrosting regularly. If it is
clogged the melting water gathered
can cause earlier failure as it can go
to the insulating of the appliance.
Clean the melting water outlet
with the supplied pipe scraper that
can be seen in the figure. The pipe
scraper has to be stored in the
outlet.
