We suggest you defrost your freezer once ice
build up reaches about 3 mm in thickness.
1.
24 hours prior to defrosting, set the
thermostat control knob to position 6 so that
food can reach the coldest temperature.
2.
Remove food from the freezer, wrap them
into several layers of newspaper and put
them into the refrigerator or in a cold place.
3. Disconnect the appliance from the
mains supply.
4.
Leave the freezer door open.

5 .
Place a basin under the defrost drain to
collect the defrost water.
6.
When the ice starts to melt, you can
accelerate defrosting by scraping the inner
walls with the plastic scraper supplied with
the freezer.
Do not use sharp or cutting instruments
to scrape the ice off.
Any damage caused
to the appliance, is not covered by the
guarantee.
7.
Clean the inside of the freezer with a sponge
dampened in a solution of warm water and
vinegar.
Do not use abrasives, detergents
or soaps.

Rinse and dry carefully.
9.
Reconnect the appliance to the mains.

loading food and leave the thermostat

1.
Empty all items from the freezer.

Defrost and clean the inside.

Condensation
If the freezer is installed in humid or badly
ventilated rooms (cellar, garage) under particular
humidity conditions (higher than 85%) there may
be some condensation forming on the appliance
walls.
In extreme cases, you may notice water droplets.
This phenomena does not affect the operation
and the performance of the appliance.
Power failure
If it is expected to last more than 12 hours: leave
the food in the freezer and keep the door shut.
If it lasts more than 12 hours and any food start
to thaw, try to use it as soon as possible or cook
and refreeze it.
