Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).

External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.

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 on 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
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.
