This period of time may be shortened according to the quantity of food.
Frozen food storage Defrosting When the freezer is being turned on for the first time, or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the NORMAL/SUPER knob to the Quick-freezing position and then wait at least two hours before introducing the food to be conserved. You may then return the knob to the «NORMAL» position. This two-hour waiting period may be avoided if the freezer has already been in operation.

Periodical cleaning Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water and sodium bicarbonate. Clean cabinet outer surfaces with a silicone-wax spray.
