Defrosting and cleaning

Manual defrosting

It is recommended to defrost the freezer
at least once a year.
Stop the compressor by pressing button
O (1) and disconnecting the power supply
to the freezer.
Remove all items from the freezer. To
keep them as cold as possible dur-
ing defrost, they can be placed in the
re¬frigerator. Place a bowl containing hot
water (not boiling) in the freezer.
Pull out the drain spout (10) and place
a bowl under it to receive defrost water.
When the ice has melted, clean out the
freezer using water and a mild washing-up
liquid. Dry the freezer with a soft cloth.
Warning
Cleaning of doors in stainless steel or aluminium
Stainless steel or aluminium doors on Lec products can, with advantage, be
cleaned with a spray and a soft cloth. There are a number of different spraying
agents for this purpose on the market.
It is dangerous to use electrical appara-
tus, knives or sharp objects to accelerate
defrost.

Cleaning

Stop the compressor by pressing button
O
(1) and disconnecting the power sup-
ply to the freezer.
The freezer is best cleaned using a weak
soap solution and a soft cloth. Never use
cleaning agents that scour. Clean the
sealing strip around the door regularly
to prolong its life. Use only clean water
for cleaning the sealing strip. The plastic
parts of the cabinet cannot withstand
boiling water (max. 85°C). It is important
to prevent water from getting into the
control panel.
Remove dust and threads from the
compressor compartment at the back of
the freezer with a vacuum cleaner. Con-
nect the current and restart the freezer
by pressing start button
