DEFROSTING AND TANK CLEANING
To always achieve the highest performance we recommend
a manual defrosting when the frost layer on the tank walls
exceeds 5 mm thickness. Proceed as follows:
1)Put main switch off (if present) and unplug the unit.
2)Remove the product in another freezer at -18°C.
3)Remove the internal and external plugs from water
discharge tube placed on rear side of body; put below a tray.
3)Put a pot of warm water (not boiling) inside the tank after
having placed a sheet of carton-board on the botton, close
the lid and wait half an hour.
4)Wash the tank with water and neutral soap, rinse and dry
very well.
Make freezer work empty for an hour and then load food again.
Never use mechanical devices or any other means to ac-
celerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not use jet of water to clean the cabinet: electrical wiring could be damaged.
