6. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

6.1 Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first
time, the interior and all internal
accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap
to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, chlorine
or oil-based cleaners as they
will damage the finish.

6.2 Periodic cleaning

CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Do not use detergents,
abrasive products, highly
perfumed cleaning products
or wax polishes to clean the
inner side of the appliance.
Prevent damage to the
cooling system.
There is no need to clean
the compressor area.
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Regularly clean the appliance and
the accessories with warm water and
neutral soap.
Clean the lid seal carefully.
3. Fully dry the appliance.
4. Connect the mains plug to the mains
socket.
5. Switch on the appliance.

6.3 Defrosting the freezer

CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost as you
could damage the
appliance. 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.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 10-15 mm.
The amount of frost on the walls of the
appliance will be increased by the high
level of the outer environment humidity
and if the frozen food is not wrapped
properly.
The best time to defrost the freezer
when it contains no or only a little food.
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put
it in a cool place.
3. Leave the lid open , remove the plug
from the defrost water drain and
collect all defrost water on a tray.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly and refit the
plug.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to
obtain the maximum coldness and
run the appliance for two or three
hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food
into the compartment.

6.4 Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long
