Cleaning The Appliance - Smeg FL227APZD Instructions For Use Manual

Cleaning the appliance

defrost water and change it periodically.
• Never use powered appliances to defrost the freezer (hair
dryer, etc.) - LIFE THREATENING!
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to
the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.
• Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry (see chapter
Cleaning).
• Before reloading food into the freezer switch the appliance on.
Prior any cleaning attempt disconnect the appliance from the
mains (see the control chapter for ON/OFF function), and pull the
power cord from the mains wall outlet.
Special antibacterial protection in top layer of inner walls prevents
multiplication of bacteria and maintains the interior clean and germ
free.
Make sure to remove traces of any cleansing agents you had been
using.
• Clean the exterior of the appliance with water and liquid detergent.
• Do not use abrasive or aggressive agents (such as stainless steel
cleansers) for cleaning of plastic and coated surfaces as you can
damage them.
• Clean coated and/or aluminum surfaces with soft cloth and
alcohol based cleansing agent (for example glass cleaners).
• Wash the interior of the appliance with liquid detergent and
lukewarm water, mixed with a little vinegar.
• Containers, shelves, and drawers with a decorative profi le (metallic
appearance) are not dishwasher safe! They can only be cleaned
with a dissolved liquid detergent and a soft cloth. Do not rub them!
• Appliances without the ZERO'N'FRESH drawer: cooling surface
on the rear wall is periodically defrosted. The drain groove and the
outlet through which the water is discharged should not be clogged
(food residues).
Check them regularly and clean as required (e.g. with a plastic
straw).
• 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..
