Cleaning and maintenance
General
• Do not pour water over the appliance.
• Clean the accessories separately with
soap and water. Do not put them in the
dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents
or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean
water and dry carefully. When the cleaning
operations have been completed, reconnect
the plug with dry hands.
• Warning: never use sharp metal tools for
this operation unless recommended by
the manufacturer, as they can damage the
freezing circuit.
General Defrosting the freezer
• After a period of time, frost will build up
in certain areas in the freezer. The frost,
accumulated in the freezer, should be
removed periodically using the ice scraper (if
available).
• To maintain the efficiency of the freezer,
complete defrosting will become necessary if
the frost layer exceeds 3-5mm.
• The day before you defrost, set the
thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze the
foods completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should
be wrapped in several layers of paper and
kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in
temperature will shorten their storage life.
Remember to use these foods within a
relatively short period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “ ” and
switch off the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting.
Remove the defrosted water from the
compartment.
• If there is defrosted water on the freezer floor,
you can clear it away by using a sponge.

water and a little detergent. Never use
abrasive products or aggressive cleaning
agents.
