Maintenance and Cleaning
Switch Off the Appliance
When Not In Use
Automatic Defrosting of the
Appliance
There is no need to defrost the chiller , because
ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted
automatically.
Ice build-up on the inner back wall during the
compressor operation will defrost automatically
(when the compressor has cycled off) . Defrost
water will drain out passing through the drain
outlet in the inner back wall into a drain pan
situated above the compressor, from where it
evaporates.
If you do not intend to use the appliance for long
periods of time. Set the thermostat knob to the
STOP (0) position, disconnect the power supply,
take out the contents and defrost and clean the
appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning
the appliance.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning
agents as you may damage the surface.
Clean the exterior with water and detergent.
Remove the detachable accessories in the
interior of the appliance and clean with water and
liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be washed
in dishwashers.
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm
water , adding one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power
supply and reload it.

Trouble-Shooting Guide
.
Sometimes you may come across minor problems
that in most cases do not require a service call
and can be easily eliminated. The problem may
have resulted from improper handing and / or
installation of the appliance. Please refer to the
below trouble-shooting guide to assist you in
identifying the possible cause and solution to your
problem. Should the problem still persist after
completing these checkpoints. Contact the closest
authorized service agent in your area for assistance.
Ice Formation on the Inner
Rear Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the
channel and through the outlet to the drain
pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting
of the appliance is assured.
In case the ice formation on the inner back
wall is increased (1/8-1/5in.), ice should be
manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to STOP ( 0 )
position and leave the door open. Never
use electric devices for defrosting and do
not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp
objects.
The Appliance Fails to
Operate After Connecting to
Electrical Power Supply
After defrosting is complete, turn the knob to
desired position and close the door. The
cause of increased ice formation may be
one of the following:
.
.
Check the power cord is properly connected.
Check the power supply in the electrical outlet.
(blown fuse / circuit breaker) .
Make sure the appliance is switched on.
(thermostat knob in operating position)

the door does not seal well (clean the
gasket if it is contaminated, or replace it if
it is damaged);
the door is frequently opened or left too
_
Continuous Operation of the
Cooling System
The door is frequently opened or left open for
too long.
The door is not properly closed (the door may
sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged).

defrost water drips over the channel, water will
leak from the appliance.
Clean the clogged outlet.
.
.
Manually defrost the increased ice layer ( see
ice Formation on the Inner rear Wall ).
Noise
Cooling in this appliance is made possible by
cooling the system using a compressor, which
will produce certain noise levels. How noise
noisy the appliance is depends on where it is
placed, how it is used and how old the
appliance is.
During the operation of the compressor
the noise of the liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow
is heard, This is a normal condition and it has
no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the
appliance.
.
.
.
After starting the appliance, the
operation of the compressor and the refrigerant
flow may be louder, which does not mean that
something is wrong with the appliance and it has
no influence on the lifetime of the appliance.
Gradually the noise will reduce.
Sometimes unusual and louder noise
may be heard. This noise is often a
consequence of inadequate installation.
The appliance must be level and installed on
a firm solid base/floor.
The appliance should not touch the wall or
kitchen units standing next to it.
