Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on
the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This
means that there is no buildup of frost
when it is in operation, neither on the inter-
nal walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continu-
ous circulation of cold air inside the com-
partment, driven by an automatically con-
trolled fan.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
•
disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appli-
ance and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to prevent
the food inside from spoiling in case of a
power failure.
