• Defrost the appliance once or twice per year, or more often if the
door is opened frequently. A thicker layer of frost may accumulate
in some areas, particularly around the air exhaust valve. This
is a normal phenomenon resulting from the entry of humid air.
Occasionally scrape the frost with the supplied scraper.
• Approximately 24 hours before defrosting, rotate the
(A
) knob
to the super freeze position (signal light
B
will light up), to
cool the food to a very low temperature.
• Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet/socket.
• Empty the appliance and protect the food from defrosting.
The fastest way to remove the accumulated frost
Use the supplied scraper to scrape the frost layer from the
freezer chest surfaces. Then, use a soft cloth to remove the frost
from the freezer before it melts.
Removing frost by thawing
If the frost layer is too thick to be scraped off, it has to be at least
partially melted.
• Remove the plug (1) on the front side of the freezer.
• Insert the supplied tube into the opening (2) an place a
container to collect the water from the melted frost underneath
it.
• Remove the plug (3) on the bottom of the freezer.
• Leave the cover open to speed up the thawing process. Use a
soft cloth to wipe the interior surfaces. Replace both plugs and
save the tube for later use.
• Do not use any defrosting sprays as they may melt the plastic
parts or harm your health.
Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet/socket before
cleaning!
Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaners to avoid damaging
the surfaces.
When cleaning, make sure you remove all and any detergent
residues after you are done.
• Clean the
interior
with a solution of water and some diluted
vinegar or baking soda (1 tablespoon per 1 litre of water).
Finally, wipe all surfaces dry with a clean cloth, rinsed in clean
water and thoroughly wrung.
• Clean the
exterior
using a soft cloth and water with a small
amount of detergent.
To clean the
cover gasket
, use mild soapsuds.
Clean lacquer coated surfaces with a soft cloth and alcohol-
based cleaner (e.g. glass cleaner). You may also use pure
alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl alcohol).
