Care and cleaning
Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore
only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Defrosting the freezer
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness
of about 10-15 mm.
The best time to defrost the freezer when it contains no or
only a little food.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place.
3. Leave the lid open , remove the plug from the defrost
water drain and collect all defrost water on a tray. Use
a scraper to remove ice quickly.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly and refit the plug.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum
coldness and run the appliance for two or three hours
using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food into the com-
partment.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
as you could damage the appliance. Do not use a
mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those recommended by the
manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
