Freezer load limit
● If you need to store bigger quantities of
products in the freezer, you can remove the
upper and middle drawers and place the pro-
ducts directly on the refrigerating elements.
● In order not to hamper the circulation of air
in the freezer, place the products so as not
to exceed the load limit marked on the side
wall of the freezing chamber (Phot.5).
Defrosting the freezer
● Bigger deposits of ice on refrigerating surfaces deteriorate the Freezer’s performance
and increase electricity consumption.
● We advise defrosting the appliance at leas 3 or 4 times a year, when the quantity of
contents in the freezer is low.
● Take out the drawer with products from the freezer, wrap it with a few layers of paper
(you can use newspapers), wrap it in a blanket, and store in a cold place.
● The defrosting of the appliance should last as little time as possible..
● You can speed-up the defrosting by placing a bowl with hot water on one of the
freezer shelves.
● Do not use an electric heater, heating fan, or a hair dryer to the freezer under any
circumstances.
In order to defrost the freezer chamber:
● Turn off the main switch (Photo 3(1)). Unplug the mains cord.
● Open the freezer door and take out the wire drawers.
There are locks on the sides of the freezer preventing from accidental fall-out of the
drawers. In order to take a wire drawer out, you have to pull it home, lift the front slightly
and pull it out in the position.
● Place a flat dish or the tray for freezing fruit under the funnel opening to collect the
condensate.
● Do not use sharp objects to scratch-off the ice.
● Wash and dry the inside of the freezer.
● Turn on the appliance according to the relevant section of the manual.
