Maintenance and Cleaning

Long-term abscence

If you do not use the product for long periods, make
sure to perform the following:
Set the thermostat to position << >>.
Disconnect the product from the mains.
Remove all foods from the product.
Perform defrosting and cleaning operations as
described above.
Leave the doors ajar to avoid the build-up of
unpleasant odors.

Automatic defrosting

This product is designed to avoid the formation of ice
in the freezer.Accordingly,there is no need for manual
defrosting.The product will automatically perform any
defrosting once it becomes necessary.

No-Frost technology

In order to facilitate the removal of the ice layer, the
evaporator is assisted by electric heating during the
defrosting procedure.The ventilator is in OFF position.
The defrost water will drip in the tray placed at the
compressor and will evaporate. In the course of the
defrosting procedure (approx. 30 minutes) the
evaporator becomes warm but it has no influence on
the internal temperature.
The foods should be kept well-packed in order to
avoid any moisture loss as a result of air circulation.
Do not obstruct the vent holes because otherwise the
operation of the product may be compromised.
For such purpose it is recommended to put all foods
in the baskets in the freezer compartment.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).Rinse and
dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,highly
perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or
cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are clean and free from debris.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill) and
the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush
or vacuum cleaner,as an accumulation of dust will affect
the performance of the appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.

When the appliance is not in

use

disconnect from the electricity supply,empty all of the
food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to
prevent unpleasant smells.
