Caring for your appliance

Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug orturning off the general switch in your home).

Defrosting

WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit. Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec- ommended by the manufacturer.

The frost should be removed from the walls of the appliance periodically.

Never use sharp metal objects to remove frost because they could pierce the cooling circuit and damage the freezer beyong repair.

Use the plastic scraper provided for this purpose. To defrost the appliance completely (this should be done once or twice a year), turn off the green light and leave the door open until the frost has completely thawed.

A defrost water collection system is situated at the bottom of this appliance as shown in figire 1.

To speed up defrosting, place one or more basins of warm water inside the appliance.

When defrosting, remove the frozen food from the appliance, wrap it in newspaper and store in a cool place. Since the rise in temperature will shorten the storage life of the food, it should be used as soon as possible.

Cleaning and maintenance

The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically with a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water. Never use abrasives, detergents or soaps; after washing, rinse with clean water and dry with care.

When these operations have been completed, turn on the green light and set the thermostat knob to the appropriate operating position.

After 2 or 3 hours, the appliance will once again be ready for preserving frozen and deep-frozen foods.
