Automatic defrosting
The wine cooler is defrosted automatically.
Defrost water runs through a pipe and is
collected in a tray above the compressor
where the heat generated by the compres-
sor causes it to evaporate. The defrost
water tray should be cleaned at intervals.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it
from the main supply. The cabinet is best
cleaned using warm water (max.65°C) with
a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning
agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse
with clean water and dry thoroughly. The
defrost water channel, in which condensa-
tion from the evaporator runs, is located
at the bottom of the rear inside wall of the
cabinet and must be kept clean. Add a few
drops of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the
defrost water drain a couple of times a year,
and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner or
similar. Never use sharp or pointed imple-
ments.
The sealing strip around the door must be
cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration
and prolong service life. Use clean water.
After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it
continues to provide a tight seal.
Dust collecting on the condenser on the
rear of the cabinet, the compressor and
in the compressor compartment is best
removed using a vacuum cleaner.
