7.2 Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories
with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe them clean to ensure they are
clean and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

7.3 Defrosting of the appliance

CAUTION!
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 artificial
means to speed up the
thawing process other than
those recommended by the
manufacturer.
About 12 hours prior to
defrosting set a lower
temperature in order to build
up sufficient chill reserve in
case of any interruption in
operation.
Defrosting in the fridge
compartment is automatic.
Defrost the freezer compartment when
the frost layer reaches a thickness of
about 3-5 mm.
To defrost freezer compartment:
1. Switch off the appliance or pull out
electrical plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put
it in a cool place.

A temperature rise of the
frozen food packs during

4. Leave the door open. Protect the
floor from the defrosting water e.g.
with a cloth or a flat vessel.
5. In order to speed up the defrosting
process, place a pot of warm water in
the freezer compartment. In addition,

interior thoroughly.
