CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
7.1
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, the interior and all internal
accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap
to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, chlorine
or oil-based cleaners as they
will damage the finish.
CAUTION!
The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not
suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.
7.2
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:
1.
Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
2.
Regularly check the door seals and
wipe them clean to ensure they are
clean and free from debris.
3.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
7.3
Defrosting of the freezer
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could
damage it.
Do not use a mechanical
device or any artificial means
to speed up the thawing
process other than those
recommended by the
manufacturer.
About 12 hours prior to
defrosting set a lower
temperature in order to
build up sufficient chill
reserve in case of any
interruption in operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the
top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1.
Switch off the appliance or pull out
electrical plug from the wall socket.
2.
Remove any stored food and put it in
a cool place.
CAUTION!
A temperature rise of the
frozen food packs during
defrosting may shorten
their safe storage life.
Do not touch frozen
goods with wet hands.
Hands can freeze to the
goods.
3.
Leave the door open. Protect the
floor from the defrosting water e.g.
with a cloth or a flat vessel.
4.
In order to speed up the defrosting
process, place a pot of warm water in
the freezer compartment. In addition,
remove pieces of ice that break away
before defrosting is complete. Use
the supplied ice scraper for this
purpose.
5.
When defrosting is complete, dry the
interior thoroughly. Keep the ice
scraper for the future use.
6.
Switch on the appliance and close
the door.
7.
Set the temperature regulator to
obtain the maximum coldness and
run the appliance for at least 3 hours
using this setting.
Only after this time put the food back
into the freezer compartment.
7.4
Period of non-operation
