ing  defrost,  they  can  be  placed  in  the 

re¬frigerator. Place a bowl containing hot 

water (not boiling) in the freezer. 

Pull out the drain spout (10) and place 

a bowl under it to receive defrost water.

Defrosting and cleaning

It is dangerous to use electrical appara-

tus, knives or sharp objects to accelerate 

defrost.

Cleaning

Stop the compressor by pressing button        

O 

  (1) and disconnecting the power sup-

ply to the freezer.

The freezer is best cleaned using a weak 

soap solution and a soft cloth. Never use 

cleaning  agents  that  scour.  Clean  the 

sealing  strip  around  the  door  regularly 

to prolong its life. Use only clean water 

for cleaning the sealing strip. The plastic 

parts  of  the  cabinet  cannot  withstand 

boiling water (max. 85°C). It is important 

to  prevent  water  from  getting  into  the 

control panel.

Remove dust and threads from the 

compressor compartment at the back of 

the freezer with a vacuum cleaner. Con-

nect the current and restart the freezer 

by pressing start button          (1).

Cleaning of doors in stainless steel or aluminium

Stainless steel or aluminium doors on Lec products can, with advantage, be 

cleaned with a spray and a soft cloth. There are a number of different spraying 

agents for this purpose on the market.
