5.
Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain
the maximum coldness and run the
appliance for two or three hours using
this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food in-
to the compartment.
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 ar-
tificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufactur-
er. A temperature rise of the frozen
food packs, during defrosting, may
shorten their safe storage life.
PERIODS OF NON-OPERATION
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appli-
ance and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to prevent
the food inside from spoiling in case of a
power failure.
