Maintenance and Cleaning

Freezer Defrosting

Frost and ice layer, depositing on the inner walls of the freezer should be defrosted when 3-5 mm thick.

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.

Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.

Cleaning the Appliance

Before cleaning the appliance disconnect the cable from the mains supply. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.

Clean the exterior of the appliances with water and liquid detergent. Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth and an alcohol based cleaning agent (for example glass cleaners). You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol). The application of abrasive and specially aggressive cleaners, such as the stainless steel cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of plastic and coated parts.

Wash the interior 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 appliance, defrost it and clean it. Leave the door slightly open.
