Maintenance and Cleaning

Freezer Defrosting

When the frost layer in the freezer is 3-5 mm thick, you should clean the freezer.

24 hours before defrosting set the thermostat knob to the position for

continuous operation (the yellow light is on) so that the food packages are well cooled. After that empty the freezer and take care that the packages don't start to thaw.

Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.

Insert the enclosed pipe into the groove in the bottom of the appliance and place a vessel underneath to collect the defrost water. Defrosting is accelerated if the door is left open.

Cleaning the Appliance

Before cleaning the appliance disconnect the cable from the mains supply. Do not use sharp tools or abrasive cleaning agents. Be careful to remove any cleanser agent remaining after cleaning.

Clean the outside surfaces of the appliances with water and detergent.

Wash the inside surfaces with lukewarm water and some vinegar.

From time to time wipe the condenser on the rear wall with a soft non-metal

brush or vacuum cleaner.

After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the mains supply and put the food packages back to their place.

Switch Off the Appliance When Not in Use

If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period of time, disconnect the power supply, empty the freezer, defrost it and clean it. Leave the door slightly open.
