plastic scraper provided with the freezer.
To defrost the freezer completely (which should be
done once or twice a year), disconnect the appliance
from the power supply and leave the lid open until all
the frost has melted.
The freezer is equipped with a system to drain the
water from the defrosting procedure. Simply, place a
container in the position indicated in figures
1 or 2 . To
speed up defrosting, one or more pots of warm water
can be placed inside the appliance.
While defrosting the freezer, it is a good idea to wrap
the food taken from the freezer in several layers of
paper and place it in a cool place. Since the
temperature of the frozen food will inevitably rise, it is
best to consume it quickly as its storage life will have
been shortened.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The inside of the appliance should be cleaned on a
periodic basis after it has been defrosted. Only use a
water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appliance.
Do not use abrasive cleaning products, detergents or
soap. After the inside has been cleaned, rinse well with
clean water and dry carefully.
Once the appliance has been cleaned, turn on the
appliance, following the instructions in
Setting Up
Your Appliance .
Changing the inside lamp bulb
To change the bulb inside the appliances that are
equipped with internal lighting, remove the bulb cover
situated on the inside wall of the lid by pushing the ends
of the cover (
Fig. 3 / Fig. 4 ). Replace the old bulb with
a new one of no higher than 15 W.
When not in use
Should the unit not be used for a long period of time
(for example during the summer holidays), disconnect
the plug from the mains and leave the lid open to avoid
the formation of mould and unpleasant odours after
completing the defrosting and cleaning operations.
DISPOSAL OF USED MATERIALS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR
CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE
2002/96/EC
At the end of its working life, the product
must not be disposed of as urban
waste. It must be taken to a special
local authority differentiated waste collection centre or
to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a
household appliance separately avoids possible
negative consequences for the environment and health
deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the
constituent materials to be recovered to obtain
significant savings in energy and resources. As a
reminder of the need to dispose of household
appliances separately, the product is marked with a
crossed-out wheeled dustbin.
The cabinet contains oil, inflammable
cooling gas, plastic and metallic
components and glass.
WARNING! Polyurethane insulation uses
CICLOPENTHANE as expander, that doesn’t affect the
environment but is inflammable.
To guarantee the same respect when it’s disposed of ,
never abandon the equipment outside. Don’t throw the
packaging material from your equipment in the rubbish
but sort the various materials: eg.polystyrene,
cardboard, plastic bags. The demolition of the cabinet
and the recovery of the component materials must be
carried out according to the local regulations in force in
this matter.
