Maintenance and Cleaning
Freezer Defrosting
Frost and ice layer, depositing on the inner walls of the freezer should
be defrosted when 3-5 mm thick.
•
24 hours before defrosting set the thermostat knob to the position for
continuous operation (the yellow light is on) so that the food
packages are well cooled. After that empty the freezer and take care
that the packages don't start to thaw.
•
Disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply.
•
Insert the enclosed pipe into the groove in
the bottom of the appliance and place a
vessel underneath to collect the defrost
water. Defrosting is accelerated if the door is
left open.
•
Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the
plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.
Cleaning the Appliance
Before cleaning the appliance disconnect the cable from the
mains supply.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
•
Clean the
exterior
of the appliances with water and liquid detergent.
Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth and an alcohol based
cleaning agent (for example glass cleaners). You may also use
alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol). The application of abrasive
and specially aggressive cleaners, such as the stainless steel
cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of plastic and coated
parts.
•
Wash the
interior
with lukewarm water and
some vinegar.
•
From time to time wipe the
condenser
on
the rear wall with a soft non-metal brush or
vacuum cleaner.
After you have cleaned the appliance,
reconnect it to the mains supply and put the food packages back to
their place.
Switch Off the Appliance When Not in Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period of time,
disconnect the power supply, empty the appliance, defrost it and clean
it. Leave the door slightly open.
