User Manual

• Wrap the food in aluminium foil or put
it in polythene bags. Make sure that
the packaging is airtight.
• Do not put fresh food together with
frozen food. This to prevent the tem-
perature of the frozen food to in-
crease.
• The storage time for fat food is shorter
than for non-fat food or for low-fat
food. The salt decreases the storage
time of the food.
• We recommend that you write, on
each packaging, the date of when the
food was frozen.
5.4 Storage of the frozen food
• When you buy frozen food, make sure
that you put it in the freezer in a very
short time.
• When you thaw frozen food, you must
cook it in a very short time. It is not
possible to freeze again food that was
frozen before.
• Make sure that the use-by date is not
expired. You can find the information
on the packaging of the food.
6. CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION!
Before maintenance, disconnect
the mains plug from the mains
socket.
6.1 Cleaning
• Clean the appliance and the accesso-
ries regularly.
• Clean all the parts of the appliance
and all the accessories only with warm
water and neutral detergent. Make
sure that the appliance and the acces-
sories are fully dry.
• Clean the gasket of the door regularly.
To replace a damaged gasket, contact
the Service.
• Clean the grill of the condenser and
the compressor, that are behind the
appliance, with a brush. This helps to
decreases the energy consumption
and keeps the appliance in good con-
ditions.
• Be careful not to pull, move or
to cause damage to the pipes
or the cables.
• Be careful not to cause dam-
age to the cooling unit.
• Do not clean the appliance
with abrasive products, abra-
sive cleaning pads, solvents,
detergents with perfume or
wax polish.
After maintenance, connect the mains
plug to the mains socket.
6.2 Automatic defrosting of the fridge
The removal of frost occurs automatically
when the motor compressor stops dur-
ing operation.
The water drains out through the drain
hole and collects in the water container
where it evaporates.
The water container is behind the appli-
ance, above the motor compressor.
The drain hole is in the fridge on the rear
part.
To prevent water to collect in other parts
of the fridge, make sure that the drain
hole is always clean. Use the cleaning
tool that is in the drain hole.
