Maintenance Defrosting Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the refrigerator. Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increases, it needs more energy, at a certain thickness it does not allow the door of the frozen food compartment to open, possibly the door can be broken. At this type of appliance defrosting fresh food compartment 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 - temperature of the fresh food compartment increases and defrosting occurs. After defrosting the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system. Melting water flows through defrost water outlet into the evaporative tray maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates due to warmth of it. Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming during defrosting regularly. 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. It is practical to clean and defrost the frozen food compartment at a time and when it is empty. Dust and dirt collected on the back of the refrigerator, condenser is recommended to be removed and clean the evaporative tray on top of the compressor once or twice a year.

If something does not work During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often occur, which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service. We draw your attention that operation of appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor- and circulating sound). This is not trouble, but means normal operation. We draw it to your attention again that the appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being no-current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit. Problem The appliance does not cool sufficiently Possible cause Thermostatic control is set too low. [. . . ] So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our attention immediately.
