Maintenance and Cleaning
Freezer Defrosting
When the frost layer in the freezer is 3-5 mm thick, you should clean
the freezer.
• 24 hours before defrosting set the
thermostat knob to the position for
continuous operation (the yellow light is
on) so that the food packages are well
cooled. After that empty the freezer and
take care that the packages don't start
to thaw.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.
• Insert the enclosed pipe into the groove in the bottom of the
appliance and place a vessel underneath to collect the defrost water.
Defrosting is accelerated if the door is left open.
Cleaning the Appliance
Before cleaning the appliance disconnect the cable from the
mains supply. Do not use sharp tools or abrasive cleaning agents.
Be careful to remove any cleanser agent remaining after cleaning.
• Clean the outside surfaces of the
appliances with water and detergent.
• Wash the inside surfaces with
lukewarm water and some vinegar.
• From time to time wipe the condenser
on the rear wall with a soft non-metal
brush or vacuum cleaner.
After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the mains supply
and put the food packages back to their place.
Switch Off the Appliance When Not in Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period of time,
disconnect the power supply, empty the freezer, defrost it and clean it.
Leave the door slightly open.
