Cleaning and Maintenance
By ensuring proper cleaning and maintenance of your Esatto Vertical Freezer, you can ensure that it will
have a long and fault free operation.
Warning!
To avoid an electric shock, always unplug your freezer before cleaning.
DEFROSTING
For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost
on the freezer walls is excessive or 5 to 10 mm thick. To minimize disruption, choose a time when the
stock of frozen food is low.
Important!
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use
a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will
void the warranty. We recommend using the plastic scraper.
→
Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
→
Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light should be off (green light out).
→
During defrosting, the ice melts in the cabinet and drains out through the bottom front.
→
Place a shallow pan outside the front base to capture the defrost water. Check the pan
occasionally so the water does not overflow.
→
Clean the interior of the freezer.
→
Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
→
Switch on the temperature control to the highest setting for two hours before using, and
then adjust to normal level.
→
Return food to the freezer.
Helpful Tip.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the process.
Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed melting. If
you must use a scraper- please use caution - it is very easy to damage the freezer
compartment and void your warranty.
