compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and save
energy consumption.

When moving the cabinet, lift it by

ter and neutral soap emulsion for cleaning
external surfaces.

compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer rea-
ches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions
below:

al layers of newspaper and put it in a
cool place
• remove the freezer drawers
• put insulating material around the draw-
ers, e.g. blankets or newspapers.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing
bowls with hot water (not boiling) inside the
freezer.
• Loosen the drainage channel from its
resting position, push it in according to
the illustration and collect a water con-
tainer.
• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts
to thaw. Use a wood or a plastic scraper
• when all the ice has melted, clean and
wipe the cabinet dry, then put the drain-
age channel back in place.

the wall socket and replace the frozen
foodstuff.
