Maintenance and Cleaning
Freezer Defrosting
Frost and ice layer, depositing on the inner walls
of the freezer should be defrosted when 3-5 mm
thick.
24 hours before defrosting set the switch to
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.
Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may
cause damage to the plastic parts and may be
hazardous to health.
Cleaning the Appliance
Before cleaning the appliance disconnect the
cable from the mains supply. Do not use
abrasive cleaning agents.
Clean the exterior of the appliances with water
and liquid detergent.
Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth
and an alcohol based cleaning agent (for
example glass cleaners). You may also use
alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol).
The application of abrasive and specially
aggressive cleaners, such as the stainless steel
cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of
plastic and coated parts.
Wash the interior 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 appliance, defrost it and clean
it. Leave the door slightly open.
