Maintenance and Cleaning
Manual Defrosting of the Low
Temperature Compartment
When the frost and ice layer in the low
temperature compartment is 3-5 mm thick, you
should clean the freezer.
•
Turn the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position
and disconnect the power supply. Empty the
compartment and take care that the packages
remain frozen.
•
Put a suitable vessel under the defrost water
tray (the tray should be in normal position - its
front edge should be levelled with the low
temperature compartment door) and pull aut
the plug on the tray to collect the defrost water.
Leave the door of the compartment open to
accelerate defrosting.
•
Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may
cause damage to the plastic parts and may be
hazardous to health.
Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning
the appliance.
Do not use coarse or agressive cleaning agents
as you can damage the surface.
Be careful to remove any cleanser agent
remaining after cleaning.
•
Clean the exterior with water and detergent.
Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth
and an alcohol based cleaning agent (for
example glass cleaners). You may also use
alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol).
The application of abrasive and specially
aggressive cleaners, such as the stainless steel
cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of
plastic and coated parts.
•
Wash the interior of the appliance with
lukewarm water, in which you added one or two
spoonfuls of vinegar.
•
Every now and then wipe the condenser on the
rear wall. Use soft non-metal brush or vacuum
cleaner.
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power
supply and reload the packages.
Switch Off the Appliance When
Not In Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a
longer period, set the thermostat knob to the
STOP (0) position, disconnect the power supply,
take out the foods and defrost and clean the
appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
