Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always

form on the freezer shelves and around

the top compartment.

Important! Defrost the freezer when the frost

layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

To remove the frost, do these steps:

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in sever-

al layers of newspaper and put it in a

cool place.

3. Leave the door open.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in-

terior thoroughly and refit the plug.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain

the maximum coldness and run the appli-

ance for two or three hours using this set-

ting.

7. Reload the previously removed food into

the compartment.

Warning! Never use sharp metal tools

to scrape off frost from the evaporator

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. A

temperature rise of the frozen food packs,

during defrosting, may shorten their safe

storage life.

Cleaning the air channels

1. Remove the plinth (1), then the ventilation

grid (2);

2. Clean the ventilation grid (2).

3. Carefully pull the air deflector out (3),

checking that there is no water left from

the defrosting.

4. Clean the lower part of the appliance

with a vacuum cleaner.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long pe-

riods, take the following precautions:

1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity

supply.

2. Remove all food.

3. Defrost, if foreseen

4. Clean the appliance and all accessories.

5. Leave all doors ajar to prevent unpleas-

ant smells.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody

to check it once in a while to prevent the food

inside from spoiling in case of a power fail-

ure.
