PERIODS OF NON-OPERATION

When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appli-
ance and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions
below:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several 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.
3. Leave the door open and insert the
plastic scraper in the appropriate seat-
ing at the bottom centre, placing a ba-
sin underneath to collect the defrost
water.
In order to speed up the defrosting
process, place a pot of warm water
in the freezer compartment. In ad-
dition, remove pieces of ice that
break away before defrosting is
complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the
interior thoroughly and keep the scra-
per for future use.
5.
Switch on the appliance.
6. After two or three hours, reload the
previously removed food into the com-
partment.
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 arti-
ficial means to speed up the thawing proc-
ess other than those recommended by the
manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten their
safe storage life.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to prevent
the food inside from spoiling in case of a
power failure.
