avoid bulding up unnecessary frost.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary and
avoid unnecessary openings.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are at
room temperature.
Keep the condenser clean.
The appliance and environment
This appliance does not contain gasses which could dam-
age the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insula-
tion materials. The appliance shall not be discarded togeth-
er with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the
cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger.
Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained
from your municipal authorities.
The materials used on this appliance marked with the sym-
pol are
recyclable.
Maintenance
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in form of
frost and ice goes with the operation of the applince.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces
cooling efficiency as the temperetaure increases in the
cooling chambers, they need more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling surface of
the refrigerator is automatic without any external interven-
tion. The termostatic control interrupts the operation of com-
pressor at regular intervals for more or less time - during this
cooling is interrupted - the temperature of the cooling sur-
face goes above 0°C due to interior heating load of the com-
partment, so defrosting occurs. When the surface tempera-
ture of the cooling surface has reached +3 - +4°C the ther-
mostatic control restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet leaded
through the back into the evaporator tray maintained on the
top of compressor and evaporates due to its warmth.
Check and clean the outlet of melting water com-
ing during defrosting regularly - a label inside the
appliance warns you for this. If it is clogged the melting
water gathered can cause earlier failure as it can go to
the insulating of the appliance.
Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe
scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe scraper has
to be stored in the outlet.
The most typical case of clogging up in the melting water
outlet when you put food wrapped in some paper into the
appliance and this paper contacts back plate of the refriger-
ator and freezes to it. If you remove the food right at this
moment the paper will tear and it can cause clogging up in
the outlet by getting into it.
So you are asked to be careful - because of the above -
when placing foods wrapped in paper into the appliance.
In case of increased demand e. g. during heatwawes,
the refrigerator temporarily happens to operate con-
stantly - during this the automatic defrosting does not work.
Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of the
refrigerator after defrosting period is not abnormal.
Defrosting of the freezer is automatic in this model.
