Defrosting the freezer
Do not use heaters or defrosting sprays in this appliance.
•
Never use any metallic or sharp objects to remove the ice as this could damage the lining.
•
The freezer compartment should be defrosted regularly to ensure the most efficient running of the freezer.
•
Once the ice is more than 5 mm thick, the freezer must be defrosted.
•
First remove the two lower freezer drawers.
•
To speed up the process, put a bowl of warm water in the base of the freezer compartment.
•
Once defrosting is complete, dry the inside of the freezer compartment with a sponge or clean cloth.
Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power before any cleaning or maintenance.
•
The freezer sections should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. Do not use
abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.
•
Clean the drawers, compartment fronts and ice tray separately by hand using soap and water. Do not put them in
the dishwasher.
•
Once cleaning is complete, then reconnect the power.
•
If the appliance is not used for prolonged periods of time, unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left
slightly open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
