4.
When defrosting is completed, dry the inte-
rior thoroughly and refit the plug.
5.
Switch on the appliance.
6.
Set the temperature regulator to obtain the
maximum coldness and run the appliance
for two or three hours using this setting.
7.
Reload the previously removed food into
the compartment.
Important!
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost as you could damage the
appliance. Do not use a mechanical device or
any artificial means to speed up the thawing
process other than those recommended by the
manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen
food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their
safe storage life.
The amount of frost on the walls of the
appliance will be increased by the high level of
the outer environment humidity and if the frozen
food is not wrapped properly.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long peri-
ods, take the following precautions:
1.
Switch off the appliance.
2.
Disconnect the mains plug from the mains
socket.
3.
Remove all food.
4.
Defrost and clean the appliance and all ac-
cessories.
5.
Leave the lid open to prevent unpleasant
smells.
Important!
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask
somebody to check it once in a while to prevent
the food inside from spoiling in case of a power
failure.
