Defrosting of the appli ance
We advise you to defrost the freezer at
least twice a year or when the ice layer has an
excessive thickness.
The ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.
The quantity and the rapidity of ice build-
up depends on the ambient conditions and on
the frequency of the door opening.
We advise you to defrost the appliance
when the quantity of frozen food is the least.
Before defrosting, adjust the thermostat
knob to a higher position so that the food
stores more cold.
- Unplug the appliance.
- Take out the frozen food, wrap it in several
sheets of paper and put them in refrigerator or
a cool place.
Take the separator panel and put it under
the freezer in the direction of the dripping
tube. Take out the obstructing plug. The
water which results will be collected in the
special tray (separator panel). After the
melting of the ice and the run-off of the
water please wipe with a cloth or with a
sponge, then dry well. Put the obstruction
plug back in its place. (Item. 6)
For a fast thaw please leave the door
open.
Do not use sharp metal objects to remove
the ice.
Do not use hairdriers or other electric
heating appliances for defrosting.
Inside cleaning
Before starting the cleaning, unplug the
appliance from the mains.
It is advisable to clean the appliance when
you defrost it.
Wash the inside with lukewarm water
where you add some neutral detergent. Do
not use soap, detergent, gasoline or acetone
which can leave a strong odour.
Wipe with a wet sponge and dry with a soft
cloth.
During this operation, avoid the excess of
water, in order to prevent its entrance into the
thermal insulation of the appliance, which
would cause unpleasant odours.
Do not forget to clean also the door gasket
especially the bellow ribs, by means of a
clean cloth.
Outside cleaning
Clean the outside of the freezer by means
of a sponge soaked in soapy warm water,
wipe with a soft cloth and dry.
The cleaning of the outside part of the
refrigerating circuit (motorcompressor,
condenser, connection tubes) will be done
with a soft brush or with the vacuum-cleaner.
During this operation, please take care not to
distort the tubes or detach the cables.
Do not use scouring or abrasive materials !
After having finished the cleaning, replace
the accessories at their places and plug in the
appliance.
