CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of about 10-15 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance.

layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.

defrost water drain and collect all defrost water
on a tray.

thoroughly and refit the plug.

maximum coldness and run the appliance for
two or three hours using this setting.

compartment.

take the following precautions:
