Wood drawer fronts
Condenser

There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because
ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted
automatically. Ice is depositing on the inner back
wall during the compressor operation; later on,
when the compressor is not operating ice is
defrosting and water drops collect and drain through
the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan
situated above the compressor, from where it
evaporates.
Disconnect the power supply before
cleaning the appliance.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning
agents as you can damage the surface.
Cabinet
The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap
and water.
Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Never use
abrasive scouring powders.
Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth and
an alcohol based cleaning agent (for example glass
cleaners). You may also use alcohol (ethanol or
isoprophylic alcohol). The application of abrasive
and specially aggressive cleaners, such as the
stainless steel cleaners, is not appropriate for the
cleaning of plastic and coated parts.
After cleaning connect the appliances to the mains
supply, turn it on and replace the beverages again.
Interior
Wash the inside with mild soap and water or baking
soda and water. Do not use an abrasive powder,
solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.
Glass door
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and a
soft cloth to clean the glass door.
Do not use any abrasive powders.

Door gasket
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap
and water, a baking soda solution or a mild scouring
powder. Rinse well.
After cleaning the door gasket, apply a thin layer of
paraffin wax or petroleum jelly to the door gasket
at the hinge side. This helps keep the gasket from
sticking and bending out of shape.
Unplug the appliance before replacing the light bulb.
To remove the light shield, push in the tab on the
left side of the shield and lower it.
Replace with a 15 watt appliance bulb.
Bulb lamps used in this appliance are special
purpose lamps selected for household appliances
use only. They are not suitable for household room
illumination.
If the power fails, open the door as infrequently as
possible to maintain the temperature. A gradual rise
in temperature should not have any adverse effect
on the beverages.
If it is extremely hot, you may want to move the
beverages to the coolest location you can find until
power is restored.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.

17
Trouble Check
The Appliance Fails
to Operate After
Connecting it to the
Power Supply
• Check if the socket is powered and make sure
the appliance is switched on. (thermostat knob in
operating position).
Continuous Operation
of the Cooling System
• The door is frequently opened or left open for long
periods of time.
• The door is not properly closed possibly an alien
particle between the doors, sagging door, door
gasket damaged, etc.).
• Excessive quantity of warm beverages inserted at
once.
• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of
the compressor and condenser (check the air
circulation behind the appliance and clean the
condenser).
Water is Leaking From
the Appliance
Water usually leaks from the appliance if the drain outlet
is blocked, or if the defrost water drips past the collecting
groove.
• Clean the blocked outlet with a plastic straw.
Trouble-Shooting Guide
Useful Tips

Cooling of the refrigerating and freezing appliances
is provided by the cooling system, which
incorporates a compressor and a fan – these
devices produce certain noise. The level of noise
emitted largely depends on the location and proper
use of the appliance.
• During the operation of the compressor, certain
noise of liquid flow may be detected, and during
idle periods the circulation of refrigeration liquid
is heard. This is a normal condition and has no
impact on the life cycle of the appliance.
• Immediately after starting the appliance, the
operation of the compressor and the flow of
refrigerant may be louder than usual. This is not a
sign of any malfunction, and has no impact on the
life cycle of the appliance. Gradually the noise will
be reduced.
Sometimes unusual and stronger noises may
be detected, which are rather unusual for the
appliance. Such noises are often the result of the
inappropriate installation:
• The appliance must be perfectly horizontal and
installed on a solid floor.
• It should not touch the walls or adjacent
cupboards.
