DEFROSTING, CLEANING AND CARE

THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT DEFROSTS AUTOMATICALLY. Drops of ice that form on the back wall of the refrigeration compartment thaw during the time the compressor is not working and the thaw water runs down the thaw water runoff channel to the tray on top of the compressor (Fig. 1), where it evaporates. The freezer compartment should be thawed not less than twice a year or when a layer of ice thicker than 5 mm forms in it. Do the actions below in the order they are listed:

• WARNING! Turn the appliance off and pull the plug out of the electrical socket.25

• Remove foodstuffs from freezer compartment. Leave door of appliance open. When the ice melts, clean and wipe dry the surfaces and fixtures of the refrigerators and freezer compartments.

• Close the appliance door. Plug in and turn on the appliance. REGULARLY CLEAN THE APPLIANCE! Remember that before defrosting the freezer compartment and cleaning the back part of the appliance body you must disconnect the appliance from the electrical energy supply socket by pulling the plug out of the electricity outlet.

• Protect the appliance inner surfaces and plastic parts from fats, acids and sauces. In case of accidental spills – immediately clean with warm soapy water or dishwashing detergent. Wipe dry.

• Regularly clean the hermetic gaskets of the doors. Wipe dry.

• At least once a year clean dust away from the back part of the appliance body and the compressor. A soft brush, electrostatic cloth or vacuum cleaner may be used for cleaning.

• DO NOT use detergents containing abrasive particles, acid, alcohol or benzene for cleaning the appliance inner and outer surfaces. DO NOT use for cleaning cloths or sponges that have coarse surfaces intended for scrubbing.

• The appliance is plugged in to the mains but it does not work. Check that your house electricity supply installations are in order. Check that the plug is correctly inserted into the electricity supply socket.

• The noise has become louder. Check that the appliance is standing stable, on a level place. To make it level, regulate the front feet. Check if the appliance is not touching any furniture, and that no part of the refrigeration system at the back part of the appliance body is touching the wall. Pull the appliance away from any furniture or walls. Check that the cause of increased noise isn’t due to bottles, cans or dishes in the appliance that might be touching each other.

• Water has appeared at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment. Check whether a thaw water channel space isn’t blocked. Clean the thaw water channel space with a cleaner intended for that purpose.

• Water has appeared on the tempered glass shelves. Food items or dishes in the refrigeration compartment are touching the back wall of the compartment. Do not let food items or dishes touch the back wall.

• Water has appeared under the appliance. The thaw water collection tray has slipped off the compressor. Place the tray on top of the compressor.

• When the appliance door is opened, the rubber sealing gasket pulls out. The gasket is smeared with sticky foodstuffs (fat, syrup). Clean the sealing gasket and the groove for it with warm water containing soap or dishwashing detergent and wipe dry. Put the rubber sealing gasket back into the place.

• High temperature in appliance, the compressor operation pauses are short. Ascertain whether the appliance doors are shutting tightly, whether the door wasn’t kept open longer than necessary when taking out or putting in foodstuffs or whether a large amount of warm food was placed in the appliance.

• The top of the appliance has condensation on it. The ambient relative air humidity is above 70 %. Ventilate the room where the appliance stands and if possible remove the cause of the humidity.

• If on one of the shelves you have placed a lot of liquid filled dishes, moisture may condense and form drops, which may drip onto the shelf below. To avoid this, move some liquid filled objects to the other shelves. Remarks on the appliance operating noise. As the appliance operates and goes through the freezing cycle, various noises will be emitted. This is normal and is not a sign of any malfunction. As the refrigerant circulates around the refrigeration system, it causes sounds like murmuring, bubbling, or rustling. Louder sounds like popping or clicking may be heard for a short time as the refrigerator’s compressor switches on.
