Defrosting
•
Defrost the unit at least two times per year, to avoid the layer of ice exceeding 5 mm.
CAUTION!
Before defrosting, disconnect the unit from its power supply by removing the plug
from its socket.
•
Remove all food products from the unit. They will not thaw out if covered with a thick
blanket and kept in a cool place.
•
Remove the lower shield (dia. 7).
•
Place an appropriately large container under the unit in
order to gather water formed from the melting ice.
•
Wait 10 - 20 minutes and remove the plug located in
the middle of the unit’s base to allow the water formed
from melting ice to flow out of the unit.
•
Leave the unit’s door open while defrosting.
Dia. 7
CAUTION!
Do not use any sharp tools or other instruments to remove ice!
•
After the ice has melted, wipe the interior of the unit dry with a soft cloth.
•
Close the door and turn the unit on, leaving it to reach the desired temperature
before replacing the frozen food products inside.
•
In case of a sudden power failure, open the door as rarely as possible to avoid loss
of cold air.
•
After a power failure or after removing the plug from its socket, do not reconnect the
deep freezer for at least 15 minutes to a power source.
•
Disconnect the unit if it is not to be used (turn the temperature dial to „0“ and remove
the plug from its socket). Defrost the unit following the instructions given above.
•
If the unit will be left unused for a longer time, leave the door open.
