abrasive products, highly
perfumed cleaning products
or wax polishes to clean the
inner side of the appliance.

frozen foodstuffs were adequately
stored by the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the store to the
freezer in the shortest possible time;
• not open the lid frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates
rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.

the accessories with warm water and
neutral soap.
Clean the lid seal carefully.

7.3 Defrosting the freezer
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost as you

mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other

the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the
frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their
safe storage life.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 10-15 mm.
The amount of frost on the walls of the
appliance will be increased by the high
level of the outer environment humidity
and if the frozen food is not wrapped
properly.
