Defrosting

Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling
chamber in form of frost and ice goes with
the operation of the appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect,
so it reduces cooling efficiency as the
temperature increases, it needs more
energy, at a certain thickness it does not
allow the door of the freezing compartment
to open, possibly the door can be broken.
It is possible to scrape off and remove
smaller frost and ice with the enclosed ice
scraper.
The tray in figure is not a piece of
accessories to the appliance!
When ice coating is so thick that it can not
be removed with the frost scraper
defrosting is necessary. Its frequency
depends on usage.
How to defrost it:
Disconnect the appliance from the
electrical supply. If the plug is not
accessible turn the temperature control
knob to "0" position.
Take the frozen foods out of the appliance
and put them into a basket lined with paper
or cloth. Store them in a possibly cool place
or replace them into a frozen or fresh food
compartment of a refrigerator.
Leave the door open.
Sweep off the melting water occasionally
with a cloth or sponge in direction of sides
which gathers in the outlet channel
practically formed in the bottom of the
appliance and can be removed as follows:
Put a tray high enough in front of the
appliance. Insert the plastic scraper into
the defrost water outlet according to the
picture. Defrost water will flow into the tray
through the outlet.
Defrosting process can be made quicker by
placing a pot or dish filled with warm water
to the cooling plate formed as a shelf.
After defrosting wipe the surfaces and push
defrost water outlet back.
Apply voltage to the appliance.
Turn the temperature control knob to a
medium position and leave to run.
After the red light has gone out put the
foods back.

Regular cleaning

freezer and defrost it at a time.
Household cleaner or soap must not be
used.
After breaking the circuit wash the
appliance using lukewarm water and wipe
it.
Clean the door gasket with clean water.
After cleaning apply voltage to the
appliance.
It is recommended to remove the dust and
dirt collected on the back of the appliance
and the condenser once or twice a year.
