DEFROSTING, WASHING AND 

MAINTENANCE

Never clean the product’s casing or plastic parts using solvents or strong, 

abrasive detergents (e.g. washing powders or creams)! Use mild liquid 

detergents and soft cloths only. Do not use sponges.

Defrosting the fridge***

• 

Frost  settles  on  the  rear  wall  of  the  fridge  chamber.  It  is  removed 

automatically. During the defrosting, the condensate, which contains 

contaminants may clog the opening in the through. Should it occur, 

carefully unclog the opening with the cleaning plug (fig. 13).

• 

The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates (then the frost set-

tles on the rear wall), and defrosts (water flows down the rear wall)

• 

Disconnect the appliance from the mains before cleaning by remov-

ing the plug from the mains socket or switching off the fuse. Prevent 

water from penetrating the control panel or the light.

• 

Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may cause the formation of an 

explosive mixture, or contain solvents which may damage the plastic 

components of the appliance and even be harmful to health.

• 

Make sure the water used for cleaning does not flow into the evapo-

ration container through the discharge opening.

• 

The  whole  appliance,  except  for  the  door  gasket  must  be  cleaned 

with  a  mild  cleaning  detergent.  The  door  gasket  should  be  cleaned 

with water and wiped dry.

• 

Wash  all  the  accessories  (vegetable  containers,  door  shelves,  glass 

shelves, etc.).

Defrosting the freezer**

• 

It is recommended to combine defrosting the appliance with washing 

it.

• 

Excessive accumulation of ice on the freezing areas impairs the ap-

pliance’s freezing capacity and increases the energy consumption.

• 

Defrost the appliance at least once or twice a year. In case of a higher 

ice build-up, defrosting must be carried out more frequently.

• 

If there is food in the freezer, set the knob to the max. position about 

4 hours before the planned defrosting. This will ensure the possibility 

of storing the food at the ambient temperature for a longer time.

• 

After taking the food out of the freezer, put it in a container, wrap it 

with several layers of paper, a blanket and store it at a cool place.

• 

The defrosting operation should last as short as possible. Long stor-

age of food at the ambient temperature shortens their shelf life.
