Caring for your appliance

Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug orturning
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.
The frost should be removed from the walls of the appliance
periodically.
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.

To speed up defrosting, place one or more basins of warm
water inside the appliance.
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.

Cleaning and maintenance

The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically with a solution
of bicarbonate of soda and warm water. Never use abrasives,
detergents or soaps; after washing, rinse with clean water
and dry with care.
When these operations have been completed, turn on the
green light and set the thermostat knob to the appropriate
operating position.
After 2 or 3 hours, the appliance will once again be ready
for preserving frozen and deep-frozen foods.
