Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive paste as
these will damage the paint, or stainless steel anti finger
print coating.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains sup-
ply.
Cleaning the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be
removed to wash the grille.
Make sure the door is open
when removing the ventila-
tion grille:
1. Loosen the upper edge
of the grille by pulling
outward/downward.
2. Pull the grille straight
out to completely remove it.
3. Vacuum clean under the cabinet.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer
shelves and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness
of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:
• switch off the appliance and pull out the plug from the
wall socket
• remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place
• remove the freezer drawers
• put insulating material around the drawers, e.g. blan-
kets or newspapers.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with hot
water (not boiling) inside the freezer.
• Loosen the drainage
channel from its resting
position, push it in ac-
cording to the illustration
and collect a water con-
tainer.
• carefully scrape off the
ice when it starts to thaw.
Use a wood or a plastic
scraper
• when all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the cabinet
dry, then put the drainage channel back in place.
• switch on the cabinet, insert the plug into the wall
socket and replace the frozen foodstuff.
Important! 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.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the
following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
2. remove all food
3. defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant
smells.
Important! 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.
What to do if…
During operation of the appliance some smaller but an-
noying trouble can often occur, which does not require
calling a technician out. In the following chart information
is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on
service.
Important! The operation of the appliance goes with
certain sounds (compressor and circulating sound). This
not means a trouble, but a normal operation.
Important! The appliance operates discontinuously, so the
stopping of compressor does not mean being no current.
That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the
appliance before breaking the circuit.
