DEFROSTING OF THE FREEZER
The freezer compartment of this model, on
the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This
means that there is no buildup of frost
when it is in operation, neither on the inter-
nal walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continu-
ous circulation of cold air inside the com-
partment, driven by an automatically con-
trolled fan.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer
casing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.

When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1.
disconnect the appliance from electric-
ity supply
2.
remove all food
3.
clean the appliance and all accessories
4.
leave the lid open 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
failure.
