cleaner provided, which you will find al-
ready inserted into the drain hole.
6.3
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will al-
ways form on the freezer shelves
and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost
layer reaches a thickness of about
3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1.
Switch off the appliance.
2.
Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.
3.
Leave the door open.
4.
When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly and refit the
plug.
5.
Switch on the appliance.
6.
Set the temperature regulator to ob-
tain the maximum coldness and run
the appliance for two or three hours
using this setting.
7.
Reload the previously removed food
into the compartment.
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evapora-
tor as you could damage it. Do
not use a mechanical device or
any artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other than
those recommended by the man-
ufacturer. A temperature rise of
the frozen food packs, during de-
frosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.
6.4
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1.
disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
2.
remove all food
3.
defrost and clean the appliance and
all accessories
4.
leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask
somebody to check it once in a
while to prevent the food inside
from spoiling in case of a power
failure.
