Care and Cleaning

Defrosting the freezer

When the ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer should be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your freezer when there is little or no food inside.

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Remove the contents of the freezer, wrap them in newspapers, and keep them in a cold place.

Leave the appliance lid open.

Remove the plug from the water drain.

The defrost water can be collected in a tray as shown in the drawing. If available, use the divider.

Dry the interior of the appliance thoroughly.

Remember to replace the plug in the water drain.

Important! Never use a knife or any other sharp implement to remove frost or ice.

Cleaning

The best time to clean your freezer is after defrosting.

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply and remove all loose accessories.

Use a damp cloth to clean your freezer. Use hot water and a mild, non-aromatic detergent.

Clean the loose accessories, before replacing them again.

Important! Never use strong detergents, scouring powder or aromatic detergents to clean your freezer.

When not in use

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Remove all food from the freezer.

Clean the freezer as described above.

Leave the lid slightly open.

Changing the light bulb

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Unscrew the bulb, and replace it with a new bulb (max. 15W).

Helpful hints and tips

Freezing food

Before freezing, fresh food must be packed in airtight and moisture-proof packaging to prevent it from drying out.

Only use fresh food of the best quality.

Always leave hot food to cool to room termperature before placing in the freezer.

Divide food into small portions before freezing; this ensures that freezing is more rapid, and that you only need to defrost the amount needed for immediate consumption.

Mark the freezer packaging with the date of freezing.

Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides of the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with the frozen food already in the freezer.

Frozen food can be stored anywhere inside the freezer, but should be kept at least 5 mm below the upper edge. If freezing is too slow, the quality of the food being frozen deteriorates. The amount of fresh food (expressed in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated in the chapter "Technical data" under "Freezing capacity".

Food storage

For fresh frozen food, please refer to the storage period table underneath.

For purchased frozen food, never exceed the expiry date.

When you buy frozen food, make sure that it has been stored at the correct temperature. Do not buy products which have wet or damaged packaging. Place purchased products in your freezer as quickly as possible. We recommend using an insulated bag to bring such products home with you.

Important! Remember that fully or partially defrosted food must not be re-frozen. However, dishes which have been cooked using defrosted food may be frozen.
