Wipe the frost and ice from the freezer before it has completely
melted.
• Never use powered appliances to defrost the freezer (hair
dryer, etc.).
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to
the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.
• Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry (see chapter
Cleaning).
• Before reloading food into the freezer switch the appliance on.
Prior any cleaning attempt disconnect the appliance from
the mains
(pull the power cord from the mains wall outlet).
Special antibacterial protection in top layer of inner walls
prevents multiplication of bacteria and maintains the interior
clean and germ free.
Make sure to remove traces of any cleansing
agents you had
been using.
• To clean any surface, use a soft cloth.
• Clean the
exterior
of the appliance with water and liquid
detergent.
• For cleaning of plastic, coated, or aluminum parts avoid using
abrasive or special cleansing agents (like the stainless steel
polish), otherwise you may damage the surface.
• Clean coated and aluminum surfaces using the soft cloth and
alcohol based cleaning agent (like glass cleaner).
• Wash the
interior
of the appliance with liquid detergent and
lukewarm water, mixed with a little vinegar.
Groove and drain outlet located below the cooling panel at
the rear wall collect the drained water, so they must not
be clogged (with food particles, for example). Make sure
you inspect them periodically and clean if necessary (use
plastic straw to free the outlet hole).
• The
condenser
on the rear wall must always be clean and
free of dust or kitchen fumes deposits, therefore clean the dust
periodically with non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner.
• Clean also the
drip pan
above the compressor. Ice
and/or frost deposits exceeding 3-5 mm increase energy
consumption, so you need to remove them regularly. Do not
use sharp pointed objects, solvents or sprays.
• After cleaning switch the appliance on and reload the food.
