Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• Clean the inside and accessories with luke-

warm 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.

Do not pull, move or damage any pipes

and/or cables inside the cabinet.

Never use detergents, abrasive pow-

ders, 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. This operation will improve the per-

formance of the appliance and save electricity

consumption.

Take care of not to damage the cooling

system. When moving the cabinet, lift

it by the front edge to avoid scratching

the ﬂoor.

Defrosting the freezer

CAUTION! Never use sharp metal tools

to scrape off frost from the evapora-

tor 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.

About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set

a lower temperature, in order to build up

sufﬁcient chill reserve for the interruption

in operation.

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.

To remove the frost, follow the instructions

below:

1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out elec-

trical plug from the wall socket.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in sev-

eral layers of newspaper and put it in a

cool place.

WARNING! Do not touch frozen goods

with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the

goods.

3. Leave the door open and remove the

freezing shelf. It is possible to scrape off

and remove smaller frost and ice with a

plastic scraper. Sweep off melting water

and it can be removed if an adequately

high tray is put in front of the appliance

and the defrost water will ﬂow into it.

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 defrosting is complete.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the

interior thoroughly and keep the scraper

for future use.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. Turn the Temperature Regulator to the Full

Loaded position and leave to run for at

least 4 hours.

7. Reload the previously removed food into

the compartments.

8. Adjust the Temperature Regulator accord-

ing to the quantity of the stored foods.

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 (if necessary) and clean the appli-

ance and all accessories.

4. Leave the door/doors open to prevent

unpleasant smells.

WARNING! If the cabinet will be kept

on, ask somebody to check it once in

a while to prevent the food inside from

spoiling in case of a power failure.
