• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This op-
eration will improve the performance of the
appliance and save electricity consumption.
Important! Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
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 cas-
ing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelf and around the freezing
area.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer rea-
ches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
Important! About 4-5 hours prior to
defrosting, set the Temperature Regulator
to "SUPER" position, in order to build up
sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in
operation.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions
below:
1. Switch off the appliance and disconnect
the mains plug from the mains socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in sev-
eral layers of newspaper and put it in a
cool place.
Caution! Do not touch frozen goods
with wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.

WHAT TO DO IF...

Warning! Before troubleshooting,
disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
3. Leave the door open and remove the
freezing shelf. It is possible to scrape off
and remove smaller frost and ice with a
plastic scraper. Sweep off melting water
and it can be removed if an adequately
high tray is put in front of the appliance
and the defrost water will flow into it.
In order to speed up the defrosting proc-
ess, place a pot of warm water in the
freezer. In addition, remove pieces of
ice that break away before defrosting is
complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in-
terior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Turn the Temperature Regulator to a
"SUPER" position and leave to run for at
least 4 hours.
7. Reload the previously removed food into
the compartments.
8. Return the Temperature Regulator to
"NORMAL" position.
Warning! 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 thaw-
ing process other than those recom-
mended 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 pe-
riods, 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 un-
pleasant 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.
Only a qualified electrician or compe-
tent person must do the troubleshoot-
ing that is not in this manual.
