Instructions for Use

With smaller refrigerators we recommend you make a stock of

ice cubes (store them in a separate plastic box).

The easiest way to empty the ice tray is to turn the tray around,

pour it with cold water and slightly twist it (bend it).

Maintenance and Cleaning

Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator

The refrigerator requires no defrosting, since the ice at the rear

wall melts automatically. Ice, formed at the rear end during the

operation of the compressor, melts when the compressor is off,

and water drops slide downwards through the hole in the rear

wall o the condenser collecting receptacle, placed at the

bottom of the appliance.

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.

• 

Melted water, collected at the  bottom of the appliance,

should be mopped with an absorbing cloth.

• 

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.

• 

The air openings in the bottom rail 

should be cleaned or

vacuumed periodically.

Cleaning of the condenser

Dust from the condenser should be vacuumed in the
following manner:

− 

push the finger through the opening in the bottom rail

and release the fastener;

−

opposite order.

After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and

reload the packages.

Periodical cleaning of the condenser

In order to optimize the operation of the appliance and
save energy, it is recommended to clean periodically the
dust from the condenser at the back of the appliance.

Disconnect the appliance from the mains prior the

commencement of cleaning!
