10. Defrosting
The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. The water drains into
the planned reservoir in the interior. Please control the water level of this
reservoir daily and if required empty it. Make sure that the defrost and
condensation water can flow from the cooling plate into the collecting tray.
For this purpose, the enclosed water collecting tray must be inserted into the
second rail from the bottom in the laboratory cabinet.
A layer of frost or ice can form on the cooling elements when the appliance
has been operating at the coldest setting for a long time.
If a layer of ice has formed, the cooling elements should be defrosted and
the inside surfaces cleaned.
Remove the food from the appliance and store in a cool place.
Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial aids for defrosting
other than those recommended by the manufactur er.
Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting. After defrosting mop
up the remaining water and clean the appliance.
11. Cleaning
Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out the mains plug or
remove/unscrew the fuse.
• Clean the inside, equipment parts and outer walls with lukewarm water and
a little detergent.
Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk of injury and damage.
Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents. We recommend the
use of an all-purpose cleaner with neutral pH.
• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the elec t rical components or
ventilation grille.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• The dust should be removed from the refrigeration unit and heat exchanger
- metal grid at the back of the appliance - once a year.
• Clean the drain hole in the refrigerator compartment with a thin object, e.g.
cotton swab or the like.
• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the appliance. It is
very important for servicing purposes.
