• Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry (see chapter
Cleaning).
• Before reloading food into the freezer switch the appliance on.
• Defrosting of NO FROST freezer is automatic. Periodic
appearance of frost layer eventually disappears automatically.
Prior to any cleaning. Please disconnect the appliance from the
mains (turn the thermostat
button to the position
outlet). Special antibacterial protection in top layer of inner walls
prevents growth of bacteria and maintains the interior clean and
germ free. Make sure to remove traces of any cleaning agents you
had been using.
• To clean any surface, use a soft cloth.
• Clean the exterior of the appliance with water and mild liquid
detergent.
• For cleaning of plastic, coated, or aluminum parts avoid using
abrasive or special cleansing agents (like the stainless steel
polish), otherwise you may damage the surface.
• Clean coated and aluminum surfaces using the soft cloth and
alcohol based cleaning agent (like glass cleaner).
• Wash the interior of the appliance with mild liquid detergent and
lukewarm water, mixed with a little vinegar.
• Groove and drain outlet located below the cooling panel at the
rear wall collect the drained water, so should not be clogged (e.g.
with food particles). Make sure you inspect them periodically and
clean if necessary (use plastic straw to free the outlet hole).
• The condenser on the rear wall must always be clean and
free of dust or kitchen fumes deposits, therefore clean the dust
periodically with non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner.
• Clean also the drip pan above the compressor. If you removed
the pan, please make sure you replace it to the same position,
and check that it is in completely horizontal position!
• Ice and/or frost deposits exceeding 3-5 mm increase energy
consumption, so should be defrosted regularly (not for the NO
FROST freezer). Do not use sharp pointed objects, solvents or
sprays.
• After cleaning switch the appliance on and reload the food.
