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

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water

and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure

they are clean and free from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/

or cables inside the cabinet.

Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed

cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as

this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at

the back of the appliance with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.

This operation will improve the performance of the ap-

pliance and save electricity consumption.

Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chem-

icals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this ap-

pliance. 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.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains

supply.

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer

shelves and around the top compartment.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness

of about 3-5 mm.

Important! About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the

Temperature Rregulator toward higher settings , in order

to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in

operation.

To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:

1. Switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains

plug from the mains socket.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of

newspaper and put it in a cool place.

Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands.

Hands can freeze to the goods.

3. Leave the door

open and insert the

plastic scraper in

the appropriate

seating at the bot-

tom centre, placing

a basin underneath

to collect the de-

frost water.

In order to speed up the defrosting process, place

a pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In

addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before de-

frosting is complete.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-

oughly and keep the scraper for future use.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. Turn the Temperature Regulator to a medium position

and leave to run for at least 4 hours with the "Freezer

Switch" switch on.

7. After the Red Indicator Light has gone out, reload the

previously removed food into the compartments.

Warning! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off

frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.

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.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take

the following precautions:

1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply

2. remove all food

3. defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories

4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant

smells.
