PART 4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not pour water over the appliance.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not put them in the
dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean
water and dry carefully. When the cleaning operations have been completed,
reconnect the plug with dry hands.
Defrosting the Freezer
WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools, unless recommended by manufacturer, for this operation as they can
damage the refrigeration circuit.
After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer compartment. The frost, accumulated in the
freezer, should be removed periodically (use the plastic scraper if available).
Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain the efficiency of the freezer.
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze the foods completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The
inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short
period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “0” and switch off the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the compartment.
If there is defrost water on the freezer floor, you can clear it away by using a sponge.
• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent.
Never use abrasive products or aggressive cleaning agents.
