Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for
long periods, take the following
precautions:
• remove the plug from the wall
socket;
• remove all food;
• defrost and clean the interior and
all accessories;
• leave the door ajar to allow air to
circulate to prevent unpleasant
smells.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment is a "no
frost" type. This means that there is no
buildup of frost when it is in operation,
neither on the internal walls nor on the
foods.
The absence of frost is due to the
continuous circulation of cold air inside
the compartment, driven by an
automatically controlled fan.
