CAUTION! The accessories and parts
of the appliance are not suitable for
washing in a dishwasher.
PERIODIC CLEANING
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe them
clean to ensure they are clean and free from
debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
DEFROSTING OF THE FREEZER
CAUTION! 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.
Do not use the supplied ice scraper to
prepare food.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting set
a lower temperature in order to build
up sufficient chill reserve in case of
any 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.
1. Switch off the appliance or pull out electrical
plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food and put it in a cool
place.
CAUTION! A temperature rise of
the frozen food packs during
defrosting may shorten their safe
storage life.
Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3. Leave the door open. Protect the floor from the
defrosting water e.g. with a cloth or a flat
vessel.
4. 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.
Use the supplied ice scraper for this purpose.
5. Insert the plastic scraper in the appropriate
seating at the bottom centre, placing a basin
underneath to collect the defrost water.
6. Dry the valve and slot in the rear wall:
a. Remove the drawer.
b. Pull out the valve from the slot in the rear
wall.
c. Leave the valve to dry at room temperature.
d. Dry the slot in the rear wall.
e. Make sure the valve is completely dry. Pull
the valve into the slot.
7. When defrosting is complete, dry the interior
thoroughly. Keep the ice scraper for the future
use.
8. Switch on the appliance and close the door.
9. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the
maximum coldness and run the appliance for at
least 3 hours using this setting.
Only after this time put the food back into the
freezer compartment.
PERIOD OF NON-OPERATION
When the appliance is not in use for long period,
take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity
supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Defrost the appliance.
4. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
5. Leave the door open to prevent unpleasant
smells.
