MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
Periodic cleaning
Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Defrosting
The freezer compartrnent, however, will become
progressively covered wlth frost. This should be
removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from
the eYaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing process other than
those recommended by the manufacturer.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out
as follows:
1. pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the
thermostat knob to the ÇOÈ setting;
2. remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool piace;
3. leave the door open, and insert the plastic
scraper in the appropriate seating at the bottom
centre, placing a basin underneath to collect the
defrost water:
4. when defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly;
5. keep the scraper for future use;
6. turn the thermostat knob back to the required
setting or replace the plug in the power socket.
After two or three hours, reload the previously
removed food into the compartment.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
