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, they need more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting the
cooling surface 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 surface goes
above 0 °C due to interior heating load of
the compartment, so defrosting occurs.
When the surface temperature of the
cooling surface 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
evaporator tray maintained on the top of
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas
are given about how to use the appliance
to reach maximum energy saving and
there is environmental information about
the appliance as well.
How to save energy
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny
place and near anything that gives off
heat.
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 warm foods into the appliance only
when they are at room temperature.
Keep the condenser clean.
