Defrosting And Cleanlng; Troubleshooting - Gastrodomus ME-105 Installations-, Bedienungs- Und Wartungsanleitung

3 - Defrosting and Cleaning
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed. To start the defrosting procedure, switch off
the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
All food should be removed and placed in another freezer.
Containers full of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters and other similar electrical appliances for defrosting.
When the defrosting has finished, clean and sponge out all the defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer
and dry the interior thoroughly. It is possible to remove the drain plug at the bottom of the freezer and that on the back
of the device to drain to the outside the condensation water which settles on the bottom. Make sure to place a
container under the drain hole at the back of the unit and to ensure that water does not leak into the compressor
housing.
You can wipe the inner and outer sides with a soft cloth or a sponge using warm and soapy water (only use neuter and
non-aggressive detergents).
Do not wash your freezer by pouring water into it.
Never use flammable, explosive or corrosive material like thinner, gas, acid for cleaning.
Make sure that your freezer remains unplugged while cleaning.
Once defrosting/cleaning has been completed, plug in the appliance and return to its temperature setting.
