Defrosting:

The items stored in the freezer and the
humidity of the surrounding air gradu­ally cause frost and ice to form inside the
freezer. A thin layer of frost or ice does not
a󰀨ect freezer performance, but the thicker
the layer, the higher the energy consump­tion.

Never use electrical apparatus or sharp im­plements as these may damage the inside
of the appliance.

Quick defrosting:

Small amounts of loose frost can be re­moved using a plastic scraper.

Defrosting has to be done regularly to pre­vent ice building.

The ice build depends on the use of the
freezer. The more daily door openings – the
more manual defrosting.

close per 24h

<10 2-4

<15 4-6

Defrosting, cleaning and maintenance

Thoroughly defrosting:

When the layer of frost and ice exceeds
4-5 mm the freezer should be completely
defrosted. It is recommended that defrost­ing be performed when there are no items
stored in the freezer.

Proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the power supply.

2. Place a bowl of hot (but not boiling) water
in the freezer, close the door and wait ap­prox. 30 minutes before removing loose
frost with the plastic scraper.

3. To prevent water from damaging the oor
during defrosting, it is advisable to cover
the oor around the freezer to protect
against ice and splashes. When all the
frost and ice have melted, clean the
inside of the appliance using water with
a mild, perfume-free detergent. Dry the
freezer with a soft cloth.

4. Return items to the freezer when the
required temperature has been reached.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning, disconnect the power sup­ply and remove all loose ttings.

The appliance is best cleaned using warm
water (max. 65°C) with a little mild, per­fume-free detergent. Never use cleaning
agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse
with clean water and dry thoroughly. It is
important to prevent water from entering the
control panel.

The sealing strips around the door must be
cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration

It’s important to clean the vacuum release
valve free of ice as part of the manual
defrosting process.

28

GB

and prolong service life. Use clean water.
After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it
continues to provide a tight seal.

It is recommended that the wire and tubular
condensers on the rear of the appliance be
cleaned.

The condenser, the compressor and the
compressor compartment must also be kept
free of dust and dirt. Clean it with a vacuum
cleaner regularly.

OBS: If the appliance is not to be used for
any length of time, switch it o󰀨, disconnect
the power supply, empty it, clean the inside
and leave the door open to allow air circula­tion and prevent smells.
