7.3 Periodic cleaning
CAUTION!

any pipes and/or cables
inside the appliance.
CAUTION!
Do not damage the cooling
system.
The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories
with lukewarm water and some

wipe them clean to ensure they are
clean and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser
and the compressor at the back of
the appliance with a brush.
This will improve the performance of
the appliance and save electricity
consumption.

7.5 Cleaning the ventilation
filter
The filter can be removed for washing.
The appliance is equipped with an air
inlet filter (1) and an air outlet duct (2) on
the ventilation grid.
1. Pinch flaps (A) and (B) with fingers.
2. Pull the filter down.
3. Pull the filter out.

7.6 Defrosting of the freezer
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could
damage it. Do not use a
mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other
than those recommended by
the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the
frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their
safe storage life.
About 12 hours prior to
defrosting, set a lower
temperature, in order to build
up sufficient chill reserve for
the interruption in operation.
