Maintenance and Cleaning
Defrosting
When the refrigerator working for a long time, the inner surface of the freezer will be covered
with a layer of hoarfrost. It may raise the electricity consumption and decrease the effect of
refrigeration. Then you should defrost your freezer once a month.
When defrosting, cut off the power, open the door and move frozen foods to a cool place. Use
a plastic spatula to remove the hoarfrost. Then remove the hoarfrost so unstuck and wipe the
inside of your freezer with a sweet and dry cloth.
Notes: Never use metal tools to defrost your freezer because it could damage it.
Cleaning
•
Before cleaning, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains. Clean the outside using only
water and a gentle liquid detergent or an ordinary detergent for washable surfaces (such as
a window-cleaning product). Never use products containing abrasives or substances which
may attack the lacquered or painted parts, acids or chemical solvents. Use a sponge or a soft
cloth.
•
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the inside; we recommend the use of specific cleaning
products.
•
Clean the gaskets with warm water and then dry.
•
To allow the freezer to operate at full efficiency, periodically also clean the condenser on the
rear with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
•
Also make a periodic check on the tray above the compressor and clean it if necessary.
Practical advice for saving energy
•
Install the freezer in a cool, well-ventilated place, protected against direct sunlight and well
away from heat sources.
•
Do not place hot foods in the freezer sections. Wait for foods to cool to room temperature
before placing them on the shelves;
•
Open the door(s) as infrequently and for as short a time as possible to prevent the
compartments from warming up too much;
•
Clean the condenser (rear of the freezer) periodically to prevent the appliance from losing
efficiency;
•
If the freezer is to be out of use for a long period, it is best to empty it and switch it off.
Operating noise
•
The freezer is cooled by means of a compression system. In order to maintain the preset
temperature inside the freezer sections, the compressor comes into operation in response
to the level of cooling required and may operate continuously if necessary. When the
compressor starts up a humming sound will be heard, tending to drop in volume after a few
minutes.
