Warning!
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. A
temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
•
disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost
5)
and clean the appliance and all
accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to prevent
the food inside from spoiling in case of a
power failure.
