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.
Use the rod provided to clear any
blockages.

Manual Defrosting of the Frezing
Compartment
When the frost and ice layer in the frezing
compartment is 3-5 mm thick, you should clean
the freezer.
• Turn the thermostat knob to STOP (0)
position, and disconnect the power supply.
Empty the compartment and take care that
the packages remain frozen.
• Put a suitable vessel under the frezing
compartment to collect the defrost water.
Leave the door of the compartment open to
accelerate defrosting.
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may
cause damage to the plastic parts and may
be hazardous to health.
