Defrosting
Please defrost the freezer compartment at
least twice a year or when the ice layer is too
thick.
• Ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.
• The ice build-up, especially in the upper side
of the compartment is a natural phenomenon
and does not affect the good functionning of
the appliance.
• It is recommended to defrost the appliance
when the quantity of frozen food is not too big.
• Before the defrosting set the adjusting
thermostat button on the maximum position in
order to strongly freeze the foods. During this
time, the temperature in the refrigerator must
not be too low.
• Unplug the appliance
• Take out the frozen foods, pack them in
several paper sheets and put them in a cool
place.
• Let the door open for a quick defrosting
and put inside vessels with warm water
(max.80°C).
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects
such as knives or forks to remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or
other such electrical appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, close the
defrosting part and dry the interior thoroughly
(Item 7 & 8).
Press the fast-freeze switch, and leave it on
for about three hours.
Cleaning and care
1. We recommend that you switch off the
appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug before cleaning.
2. Never use any sharp instruments or
abrasive substances, soap, household
cleaner, detergent or wax polish for cleaning.
3. Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet
of the appliance and wipe it dry.
4. Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution
of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one
pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it
dry.
5. If the appliance is not going to be used for
a long period of time, switch it off, remove all
food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
6. We recommend that you polish the metal
parts of the product (i.e. door exterior, cabinet
sides) with a silicone wax (car polish) to
protect the high quality paint finish.
7. Any dust that gathers on the condenser,
which is located at the back of the appliance,
should be removed once a year with a
vacuum cleaner.
8. Check door seals regularly to ensure they
areclean and free from food particles.
9. Never:

eg petroleum based products.

the performance of the freezer.
