Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Before cleaning the freezer, turn off the green light,
switch off and remove the plug from the socket.
- Use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appli-
ance. Clean the interior and exterior with a sponge soaked in
warm water and a sodium bicarbonate solution, which is,
among other things, a good disinfectant. If you do not have
any in the house, you can use a neutral soap.
- DO NOT use abrasive detergents, bleach or deterents con-
taining ammonia. NEVER use solvent based products.
- Rinse with clean water and dry with care.
- When completed, turn on the green light and set the tem-
perature control to the appropriate setting.
- After 2-3 hours, the appliance will once again be ready for
preserving frozen and deep frozen foods.
CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE
Before doing any cleaning, turn off the green light and
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.
Do not use mechanical devices or instruments other than
those recommended by the manufacturer to speed up
the defrosting process.
How to Defrost the Freezer
The frost should be removed from the walls of the appliance
periodically.
When defrosting, remove the frozen food from the appliance,
wrap it in newspaper and store in a cool place. Since the
rise in temperature will shorten the storage life of the food, it
should be used as soon as possible.
Never use sharp metal objects to remove frost because they
could pierce the cooling circuit and damage the freezer beyong
repair.
Use the plastic scraper provided for this purpose.
To defrost the appliance completely (this should be done
once or twice a year), turn off the green light and leave the
door open until the frost has completely thawed.
A defrost water collection system is situated at the bottom of
this appliance as shown in figure 1.
- You can speed this process by placing containers of
warm water in the appliance.
