Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from
this appliance, you should:
- make sure that the commercially
frozen foodstuffs were adequately
stored by the retailer;
- be sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the food store to the
freezer in the shortest possible time;
- not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates
rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
CARE AND CLEANING
For hygienic reasons the appliance
interior, including interior accessories,
should be cleaned regularly.
Regularly examine the drain in the
chest freezer for defrosted water. If
necessary, clean the drain.
Caution! The appliance may not be
connected to the mains during
cleaning. Danger of electrical shock!
Before cleaning switch the appliance
off and remove the plug from the
mains, or switch off or turn out the
circuit breaker or fuse.
Do not clean the appliance with metal
objects.
Do not use sharp objects to remove
frost from the appliance. Use a plastic
scraper.
Never clean the appliance with a
steam cleaner. Moisture could
accumulate in electrical components,
danger of electrical shock! Hot vapors
can lead to the damage of plastic
parts.
The appliance must be dry before it is
placed back into service.
Important! Ethereal oils and organic
solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
lemon juice or the juice form orange
peel, butyric acid, cleanser that
contain acetic acid. Do not allow such
substances to come into contact the
appliance parts.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning
• Remove the food from the freezer.
Store them in a cool place, well
covered.
• Switch the appliance off and remove
the plug from the mains, or switch off
or turn out the circuit breaker of fuse.
• Clean the appliance and the interior
accessories with a cloth and lukewarm
water. After cleaning wipe with fresh
water and rub dry.
• Accumulation of dust at the
condenser increases energy
consumption. For this reason carefully
clean the condenser at the back of the
appliance once a year with a soft
brush or a vacuum cleaner (if the
condenser is at back of appliance.)
• After everything is dry place the
appliance back into service.
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer, however, will become
progressively covered with frost. This
should be removed.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape
off frost from the evaporator as you
could damage it.
However, when the ice becomes very
thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as
follows:
• Unplug the unit. Remove the drain
plug from the inside of the freezer.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours.
To defrost faster keep the freezer door
open.
• For draining, place a tray beneath
the outer drain plug. Pull out the drain
dial.
• Rotate the drain dial 180 degree.
This will let the water flow out in the
tray. When done, push the drain dial
in. Re-plug the drain plug inside the
freezer compartment. Note: monitor
the container under the drain to avoid
overflow.
• Wipe the interior of the freezer and
replace the electrical plug in the
electrical outlet.
• Reset the temperature control to the
desired setting.
