FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Place fresh food to be frozen near the side
walls to ensure fast freezing and away from
already frozen food, if possible.
Place the knob to Max position. The yellow
lamp comes on. Wait 24 hours. Before
placing the fresh food in the freezer do not
forget to change the knob into previous
position.
Do not freze too large a quantity at any one
time.
The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right throug to the centre as
quickly as possible.
Take special care not to mix already frozen
food and fresh food.
Defrosting of the appliance
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.
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.
