newspaper and put it in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open.

oughly and refit the plug.

Important! 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. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the
following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appliance and all ac-
cessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it
once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in
case of a power failure.
Important! There are some sounds during normal use
(compressor, refrigerant circulation).
