CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Before using the appliance for the first time, the
interior and all internal accessories should be
washed with lukewarm water and some neutral
soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new
product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION! Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-
based cleaners as they will damage
the finish.
CAUTION! The accessories and parts
of the appliance are not suitable for
washing in a dishwasher.
PERIODIC CLEANING
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe them
clean to ensure they are clean and free from
debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
DEFROSTING OF THE FREEZER
CAUTION! Never use sharp metal
tools to scrape off frost from the
evaporator 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 manufacturer.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting set
a lower temperature in order to build
up sufficient chill reserve in case of
any interruption in operation.
Defrost the freezer compartment when the frost
layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To defrost freezer compartment:
1. Switch off the appliance or pull out electrical
plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
CAUTION! A temperature rise of
the frozen food packs during
defrosting may shorten their safe
storage life.
Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3. Leave the door open. Protect the floor from the
defrosting water e.g. with a cloth or a flat
vessel.
4. In order to speed up the defrosting process,
place a pot of warm water in the freezer
