Care and cleaning
Caution! Unplug the appliance
before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons
in its cooling unit; maintenance and
recharging must therefore only be
carried out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains
socket.
3. Regularly clean the appliance and the
accessories with warm water and neutral
soap. Clean the lid seal carefully.
4. Fully dry the appliance.
5. Connect the mains plug to the mains
socket.
6. Switch on the appliance.
Caution! Do not use detergents,
abrasive products, highly
perfumed cleaning products or
wax polishes to clean the inner
side of the appliance.
Prevent damage to the cooling
system.
Important! There is no need to clean the
compressor area.
Defrosting the freezer
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches
a thickness of about 10-15 mm.
The best time to defrost the freezer when it
contains no or only a little food.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the
interior thoroughly. Close the lid.
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.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it
is recommended that the outer casing of this
appliance is only cleaned with warm water with
a little washing-up liquid added.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains
socket.
3. Remove all food.
