Care and Cleaning
Defrosting the freezer
When the ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer should be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your freezer when
there is little or no food inside.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Remove the contents of the freezer, wrap them in newspapers, and keep them in a cold place.
Leave the appliance lid open.
Remove the plug from the water drain.
The defrost water can be collected in a tray as shown in the drawing. If available, use the divider.
Speed up defrosting by using the enclosed scraper to detach the ice from the appliance walls.
Dry the interior of the appliance thoroughly.
Remember to replace the plug in the water drain.
Important! Never use a knife or any other sharp implement to remove frost or ice.
Cleaning
The best time to clean your freezer is after defrosting.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply and remove all loose accessories.
Use a damp cloth to clean your freezer. Use hot water and a mild, non-aromatic detergent.
Clean the loose accessories, before replacing them again.
Important! Never use strong detergents, scouring powder or aromatic detergents to clean your freezer.
When not in use
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Remove all food from the freezer.
Clean the freezer as described above.
Leave the lid slightly open.
