The appliance and
environment
This appliance does not contain gasses
which could damage the ozone layer, in
either its refrigerant circuit or insulation
materials. The appliance shall not be
discarded together 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 sympol are
recyclable.
Maintenance
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling
chambers in form of frost and ice goes
with the operation of the appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating
effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as
the temperature increases in the cooling
chambers and they need more energy.
Be sure that the condenser and the
compressor are well ventilated. Do not
cover the sections where ventilation
is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes
or cling film to avoid building up
unnecessary frost.
Do not leave the door open longer
than necessary and avoid
unnecessary openings.
Put foods into the appliance only in a
closed dish.
Put warm foods into the appliance only
when they are at room temperature.
Keep the condenser clean.
At this type of appliance defrosting the
cooling plate of the refrigerator is
automatic without any external
intervention. The thermostatic control
interrupts the operation of compressor at
regular intervals for more or less time -
during this cooling is interrupted - the
temperature of the cooling plate goes
above 0 °C due to interior heating load of
the compartment, so defrosting occurs.
When the surface temperature of the
cooling plate has reached +3 - +4 °C the
thermostatic control restarts operation of
the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water
outlet leaded through the back into the
evaporative tray maintained on the top of
compressor and evaporates due to its
warmth.
Check and clean the outlet of
melting water coming 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.
