VI. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
ICING
The humidity brought by the products and by the ambient air leads over time to
the formation of frost and ice in the appliance. A thin layer of frost or ice has no
influence on the operation of the freezer, but the thicker the layer becomes, the
higher the energy consumption. A thin layer of ice can be removed with a freezer
ice scraper.
Never use an electrical device or pointed object that could damage the inside of
the device.
When the frost or ice layer reaches a thickness of 4 to 5 mm, the freezer must
be defrosted. Defrosting is recommended when the freezer is near or completely
empty.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the unit.
2. Take out the frozen products. Keep them in a cool or well-wrapped place to
minimize defrosting as much as possible.
3. Leave the lid open.
4. Place a container of hot (non-boiling) water in the freezer, close the lid and
wait about 30 minutes, then remove the frost with a plastic scraper. Never
use hair dryers, electric heaters or other similar electrical appliances for
defrosting.
5. Drain all defrost water either with a cloth or a water collection tray through
the defrost hole (see instructions below). Clean and dry it with a soft cloth.
6. Wait about five minutes after turning the machine back on before
putting frozen products back in.
