Caring for your appliance
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug orturning
off the general switch in your home).
Defrosting
The frost should be removed from the walls of the appliance
periodically.
Never use sharp metal objects to remove frost because they
could pierce the cooling circuit and damage the freezer
beyong repair.
Use the plastic scraper provided for this purpose.
To defrost the appliance completely (this should be done
once or twice a year), turn off the green light and leave the
door open until the frost has completely thawed.
A defrost water collection system is situated at the bottom
of this appliance "D" as shown in figure 2.
To speed up defrosting, place one or more basins of warm
water inside the appliance.
When defrosting, remove the frozen food from the appli-
ance, wrap it in newspaper and store in a cool place. Since
the rise in temperature will shorten the storage life of the
food, it should be used as soon as possible.

Cleaning and maintenance
The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically with a solu-
tion of bicarbonate of soda and warm water. Never use
abrasives, detergents or soaps; after washing, rinse with
clean water and dry with care.
When these operations have been completed, turn on the
green light and set the thermostat knob to the appropriate
operating position.
After 2 or 3 hours, the appliance will once again be ready
for preserving frozen and deep-frozen foods.
