When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,

disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all

foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar

to prevent unpleasant smells.

External cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do

NOT use abrasive products.

Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill)

and the compressor at the back of the appliance,

with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see figure, as an

accumulation of dust will affect the performance of

the appliance and cause excessive electricity

consumption.

Defrosting

When the frost has reached a thickness of up to

4mm it can be removed using the ice scraper

provided with the appliance. During this operation it

is not necessary to disconnect the appliance from

the mains and remove the food. Never use metal

tools for this operation.

For complete defrosting (once or twice a year)

proceed as follows:

-  turn the thermostat control knob to the ÇOFFÈ

position (O) or disconnect the appliance from the

mains.

-  Remove any food from inside the freezer , wrap it

in several sheets of newspaper and store in a

cool

, dry place.

-  Leave the door open and insert the ice scraper

under the channel in the centre of the lower part

of the appliance; place a low-sided container

beneath the scraper to collect the water (see fig.).

-  Clean and dry thoroughly.

-  Replace the scraper in one of the drawers .

-  Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset

the thermostat control knob to the normal

operating position.

-  After letting the appliance run for at least two

hours in fast freeze mode, replace the previously

removed food into the compartment.

Important 

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during

defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
