Defrosting the freezer
Do not use heaters or defrosting sprays in this appliance.
• Never use any metallic or sharp objects to remove the ice as this
could damage the lining.
• The freezer compartment should be defrosted regularly to ensure
the most efficient running of the freezer.
• Once the ice is more than 5mm thick, the freezer should be
defrosted.
• First remove the freezer drawers.
• To speed up the process, place a bowl of warm water in the base of
the freezer compartment.
Once defrosting is complete, dry the inside of the freezer
compartment with a sponge or clean cloth.
The freezer should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of soda
and lukewarm water. Do not use abrasive products or detergents.
After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Clean the drawers separately by hand with soap and water. Do not put
them in the dishwasher.
Once cleaning is complete, then reconnect the power.
