Cleaning
for hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regular.
Caution. The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. of electrical shock before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. moisture could accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock hot vapors can lead to the damage of plastic parts. the appliance must be dry before it place back into service.
Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts,e.g. lemon juice or the juice form orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid. Do not allow such substances to come into contact the appliance parts. Do not use any abrasive cleaners Remove the food from the freezer. Store them in a cool place,well covered. Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains,or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker of fuse. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. After everything is dry place appliance back into service.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer,however,w ill become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. However,when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as fellows:
- Unplug the unit. Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door open.
- For draining, place a tray between beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the drain dial.
- Rotate the drain dial 180 degree. This will let the water flow out in the tray. When done, push the drain dial in.
- Replug the drain plug inside the freezer compartment. Note: monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow
- Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in the electric outlet N
- Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
If the condenser is at back of appliance.
