After a period of time, frost will build up in certain
areas in the freezer compartment. The frost,
accumulated in the freezer, should be removed
periodically using the ice scraper (if available).
To maintain the effi ciency of the freezer, complete
defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer
exceeds 3-5mm.
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat
dial to position “5” to freeze the foods
completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be
wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in
a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature
will shorten their storage life. Remember to use
these foods within a relatively short period of
time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “0” and
switch off the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting.
Remove the defrosted water from the
compartment.
• If there is defrosted water on the freezer fl oor,
you can clear it away by using a sponge.
• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water
and a little detergent.
Never use abrasive products or aggressive
cleaning agents.
• Dry the inside of the unit, plug it into the mains,
and set the thermostat knob to position “5”.
After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the
desired position.
•
Do not
pour water over the appliance.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap
and water.
Do not
put them in the dishwasher.
•
Do not
use abrasive products, detergents or
soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water
and dry carefully. When the cleaning
operations have been completed, reconnect
the plug with dry hands.
Warning:
never use sharp metal tools for
this operation unless recommended by
the manufacturer, as they can damage
the freezing circuit.
