
To prevent condensation and ice forming, allow cooked
food to cool down to room temperature before closing the
lid of the dish and before storage.

Leave the freezer door open as briefly as possible to
avoid wasting energy and to prevent an excessive
amount of ice forming in the freezer compartment.

If the red pilot light comes on unexpectedly or stays on for
a long period, do not open the door on any account and
take appropriate measures immediately (
see
“What to
do when...“
at the back of the user manual
).

Never use a screwdriver or any other sharp-edged metal
tool to remove the layers of ice. The inside walls are very
delicate and can be easily damaged by sharp edges. Use
only plastic or wooden scrapers with no sharp edges.
9 Cleaning and maintenance
As a firm rule, unplug the power plug or switch off at the
mains.
For the upkeep of the external appearance of your fridge /
freezer, clean the outside every now and again with furniture
polish or with an enamel protecting product (never, on any
account use it inside). Clean the door seal with warm water
now and again but do not use any cleaning products.
Clean your appliance regularly.

The various parts inside the fridge / freezer are generally
not suitable for dishwashers. These should be washed by
hand with warm water and a little washing-up liquid.
Never use the cleaning agent
neat
and on no
account use any abrasive or acid, i.e. chemical cleaning
products. A general all-purpose pH neutral cleaning agent
is recommended.

The rating plate inside or outside your appliance should
not be damaged and should never be removed - this is
essential for servicing. Make sure, when cleaning, that no
water runs onto any electrical parts inside the appliance.

If there is a heat exchanger -called condenser- on the
back of your fridge / freezer, this should be cleaned
regularly. Dust and dirt impede the release of heat from
the
inside and considerably increase energy
consumption. For best results, use a soft brush or a
duster to remove dust from the condenser.
Special tip for cleaning the fridge
Clean the drain hole in the fridge from time to time with, for
example, cotton buds, in order to keep it clear.
Switching off the appliance
If your appliance is going to be switched off for longer
periods (such as during holidays), it should be left open to
prevent odours from building up inside. If your appliance has
a lock, set the lock in the “closed” position with the doors
open and keep the key well away from small children to
prevent accidents.
Ice and frost layers which build up to a certain thickness on
the inside walls, act as insulation and prevent the dispersion
of the coldness. These must be removed from time to time.
To remove the layers of ice from the inside walls, use a
plastic or wood scraper with no sharp edges.
When doing this, remove the drawers and lay a cloth on the
bottom of the appliance to catch the ice as it is scraped off
so that it can be easily removed.
The method least likely to damage your appliance when
removing the layers of ice is to defrost it.
Defrosting (Not applicable for NO FROST devices)
In normal circumstances (opening the freezer 4 – 5 times a
day), the freezer compartment should be defrosted once or
twice a year (more often in other circumstances).
The fridge compartment is defrosted automatically.
Danger warnings

Never use electrical appliances to defrost your appliance,
such as a hair dryer, fan heater, dehumidifiers, de-icing
sprays or anything with a naked flame (e.g. candles).

The plastic inside of your appliance could melt and the
escaping gas or foam could be ignited by sparks or by the
naked flame.

On no account should a steam-cleaning device be
used to defrost the layers of ice in the appliance
(great risk of an electric shock)
.
Proceed as follows to defrost your appliance:
1. Provide a suitable non-metallic container (a plastic
container or wash-basket).
2. Make sure that you remove the plug from the power
socket
.
3. Dry your hands thoroughly to prevent skin damage from
contact with ice
(It is advisable to use gloves).
4. Remove all frozen food from the freezer and roll it firmly
in newspaper place it in the container already prepared
and place the container in a cool, dry room.
5. Cover the container all around with a thick blanket.
6. Remove the drawers by pulling them as far out as
possible and then raising them slightly.
7. As described previously, scrape the thickest ice carefully
from inside the freezer and put it in the kitchen sink.
8. If your appliance is equipped with a drip duct at the
bottom of the appliance, pull it out and place a bowl to
catch the dripping water underneath it.
9. If necessary, speed up defrosting by placing a large bowl
of warm (not too hot) water on the bottom of the
appliance and close the door.
10. If your appliance is not equipped with a drip duct, place
an absorbent cloth underneath the front of the appliance
and wipe up the defrosting water with a sponge.
11. Thoroughly clean the inside. Wipe it out with warm water
and a little vinegar and then rinse it out with clear water.
12. Dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth and air it for 3-4
minutes.
13. Close the door and plug the appliance back in.
14. Reset the temperature dial to the maximum setting.
( If your appliance is equipped with green and red
pilot lights, these will come on ) and if the SUPER
FREEZE SWITCH is provided, switch it on ( the yellow
light will also come on ).
15. Now refill the drawers with the frozen food - the oldest
items at the top.
T
o prevent the frozen food from defrosting, carry out the
steps described above within two hours at the most.
16. When the red pilot light goes off, reset the temperature
dial to a medium setting.
If provided, switch off the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH
after about 12, but no later than 24 hours
(the yellow
light will go off).
