When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all
foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar
to prevent unpleasant smells.

External cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do
NOT use abrasive products.

Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance,
with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see figure, as an
accumulation of dust will affect the performance of
the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.

Defrosting

When the frost has reached a thickness of up to
4mm it can be removed using the ice scraper
provided with the appliance. During this operation it
is not necessary to disconnect the appliance from
the mains and remove the food. Never use metal
tools for this operation.

For complete defrosting (once or twice a year)
proceed as follows:

-  turn the thermostat control knob to the ÇOFFÈ

position (O) or disconnect the appliance from the
mains.

-  Remove any food from inside the freezer , wrap it

in several sheets of newspaper and store in a
cool

, 

dry place.

-  Leave the door open and insert the ice scraper

under the channel in the centre of the lower part
of the appliance; place a low-sided container
beneath the scraper to collect the water (see fig.).

-  Clean and dry thoroughly.

-  Replace the scraper in one of the drawers .

-  Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset

the thermostat control knob to the normal
operating position.

-  After letting the appliance run for at least two

hours in fast freeze mode, replace the previously
removed food into the compartment.

Important 

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
