Never refreeze food once it has defrosted, even partially, without cooking it first.
We would advise you not to place any items you have just taken out of the freezer straight
into your mouth (ice cream, ice cubes, etc.), they will be at a very low temperature and you
risk frostbite. Avoid touching frozen or deep-frozen food with wet hands; you may stick to
the food. We recommend that you only defrost food for immediate use.
6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
The defrost of fridge part is automatic and for freezer part is manual.
Defrost when frost is accumulated on the evaporator is about 2mm:
▪
Set the thermostat to "0" for defrosting.
▪
Unplug your appliance from the main power.
▪
Remove all contents from your appliance.
▪
Leave the freezer door open to allow melting of the ice.
▪
Remove large pieces of ice if necessary with dishcloth or something that will not damage
the walls.
▪
Do not use hot water or other electric heaters to melt the accumulated ice.
▪
After defrosting, remove the accumulated ice / water and try the appliance with a soft cloth.
▪
Restart the unit according to the start instructions. Never use a knife or other sharp
instrument to scrape ice inside.
Cleaning inside the fridge
After defrosting you should clean the fridge internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda.
Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm
soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer.
Condensation will form on the back wall of the Fridge; however, it will normally run down the back
wall and into the drain hole behind the salad bin.
Cleaning outside the fridge
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the fridge exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent components can be
cleaned using a soft brush.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the fridge
If you're going on vacation
If your appliance is not to be used for several months, remove all food, turn off and unplug the
appliance from the outlet. Clean and dry the inside and outside of the appliance thoroughly. Also
leave the door open, blocking it if necessary, to prevent condensation, odors, mold.
Moving the unit
▪
Location
Do not place your refrigerator near a heat source, for example. Stove, boiler or radiator. Also, avoid
direct sunlight.
▪
Refrigerator upgrade
Make sure the refrigerator is level. Use the rotatable adjustable feet at the front. If the refrigerator is
not level, the doors and magnetic sealing alignments will be affected and may cause malfunctions.
