This article covers maintenance and cleaning of the BRT102 by Boretti.
PART4 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE • Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning. Do not pour water over the appliance. • The refrigerator compartment should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. • Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher. • Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When the cleaning operations have been completed, reconnect the plug with dry hands. Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment: • Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation; the defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically. • The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out. • You can also pour 1½ glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside. Defrosting the Freezer Compartment:
⚠ WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools, unless recommended by manufacturer, for this operation as they can damage the refrigeration circuit. After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer compartment. The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically (use the plastic scraper if available). Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain the efficiency of the freezer. • The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position "5" to freeze the foods completely. During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time. • Set the thermostat knob to position "0" and switch off the appliance. • Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the compartment. Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Never use abrasive products or aggressive cleaning agents. • Dry the inside of the unit, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob to position "5". After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired position. Replacing the Light Bulb When replacing the bulb of the refrigerator compartment;
