Cleaning and Maintenance
Disconnect the unit from the power supply

on it.
Do not use abrasive products, detergents or
soaps for cleaning the appliance. After
washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully.
When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the
plug to the mains supply with dry hands.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp
housing and other electrical components.
• The appliance should be cleaned regularly
using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and
lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately by hand with
soap and water. Do not wash accessories in a
dish washer.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at least
twice a year. This will help you to save on
energy costs and increase productivity.

Defrosting the Freezer
Compartment
Freezer defrosting process
WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools,
unless recommended by the manufacturer, for
this operation as they can damage the refrigeration
circuit.
• After some time, frost will build up in certain
areas of the freezer. The frost accumulated in
the freezer should be removed regularly (use
the plastic scraper if available).
• Complete defrosting will become necessary
if the frost layer exceeds 3 - 5 mm in order to
maintain the efficiency of the freezer.
• It is recommended, the day before you
defrost, to set the thermostat dial to position
“5” to freeze the food completely.
• During defrosting, frozen food 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 this food within a relatively
short period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “•” and
switch off the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting.
Remove any water from the compartment.
• If there is water on the freezer floor, you can
remove it using a sponge.
• 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, connect it to the
mains and set the thermostat knob to position
“5”. After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the
desired position.
