Caring for Your Appliance

Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance

from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning

off the general switch in your home).

Defrosting

WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.

It is a good idea to remove the frost buildup from the inside

of the appliance from time to time.

Make sure not to use pointed metal objects to do so as this

could result in piercing the refrigeration circuits, causing ir-

reparable damage to the appliance. Use the plastic scraper

provided with the freezer.

To defrost the freezer completely (which should be done

once or twice a year), disconnect the appliance from the

power supply and leave the door open until all the frost has

melted.

The freezer is equipped with a system to drain the water

from the defrosting procedure. Simply, place a container in

the position indicated in figures 1 ou 2.

To speed up defrosting, one or more pots of warm water

can be placed inside the appliance.

While defrosting the freezer, it is a good idea to wrap the

food taken from the freezer in several layers of paper and

place it in a cool place. Since the temperature of the frozen

food will inevitably rise, it is best to consume it quickly as its

storage life will have been shortened.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The inside of the freezer should be cleaned on a periodic

basis after it has been defrosted. Only use a water and bi-

carbonate solution to clean the appliance. Do not use abra-

sive cleaning products, detergents or soap. After the inside

has been cleaned, rinse well with clean water and dry care-

fully.

Once the appliance has been cleaned, turn on the appli-

ance, following the instructions in "Setting Up Your Appli-

ance."

Changing the unside lamp bulb

To change the bulb inside the appliances that are equipped

with internal lighting, remove the bulb cover situated on

the inside wall of the door by pushing the ends of the cover

(Fig. 3). Replace the old bulb with a new one of ni higher

than 15 W.

When not in use

Should the unit not be used for a long period of time (for

example during the summer holidays), disconnect the plug

from the mains and leave the door open to avoid the forma-

tion of mould and unpleasant odours after completing the

defrosting and cleaning operations.

- Install the Appliance Correctly

This means that the appliance should be installed away from

sources of heat or direct sunlight, in a well ventilated room.

- Correct Temperature Settings

Set the freezer temperature knob to one of the medium

settings. Very low temperatures will not only consume a great

deal of energy, but will neither improve nor lengthen the

storage life of the food.

- Shut the Doors

Open your appliance only when strictly necessary - every

time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. In

order to restore the correct temperature, the motor will have

to run and consume energy.

- Check the Door Seals

Keep the seals clean and pliable so that they fit closely against

the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.

- Avoid Frost Buildup

Remember to check the sides of the freezer for frost. When

the frost becomes too thick, defrost the freezer immediately

(See, "Caring for Your Appliance").
