APPLIANCE PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE
AND CLEANING
Cleaning the freezer compartment
Before any cleaning or maintenance operation,
switch off the appliance by pressing button (1) on the
control panel for 3 seconds, and then unplug the
appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical
power supply.
It is advisable to defrost the freezer once or twice a
year, or when too much ice has formed on the
refrigerant grilles.
It is perfectly normal for ice to form on the grilles.
The amount of ice which forms and the rate at
which it accumulates will depends on room
temperature and humidity, and on the frequency
with which the door is opened.
If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly
empty.
24 hours before defrosting, press the fast freeze
button. This brings the food to the lowest possible
temperature to help maintain the food in a frozen
state during defrosting.
1.
Open the freezer door and remove all the food,
wrapping it close together in sheets of newspaper and
put it in a very cool place or in a portable cooler. Leave
the freezer door open to allow the frost to melt.
2.
Pull out the defrost water drain and place a container
under the drain. It is advisable to place a cloth in
contact with the cabinet under the drain, to absorb any
drops of water.
3.
Clean the interior with a sponge soaked in warm water
and/or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive
substances.
4.
Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly.
5.
Remove the drain.
6.
Close the freezer door.
7.
Plug in the appliance and press button (1) again for 3
seconds. The acoustic alarm will sound (temperature
alarm); to mute the acoustic alarm, press button (11).
Place food inside the freezer only when the red light
(10) goes off.
Note:
If the compartment is not used for prolonged periods, it is
advisable to leave the freezer door open to prevent the
formation of mould, bad odours and oxidation.
