Caution: Never refreeze food that has been defrosted, even partially, without having
cooked it first. We do not recommend that you take products straight out of the freezer
(ice cream, ice cubes, etc.) directly to your mouth, as they are then at a very low
temperature and you risk cold burns. Avoid touching frozen or deep-frozen foods with
wet hands, they may stick together. We advise you to defrost your food only for
immediate use.
6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrost
The defrosting of your device is automatic.
•
It is necessary to defrost your device when the accumulated frost is about 2mm:
•
Unplug your appliance from the main power.
•
Remove all contents from the freezer compartment.
•
Leave the door of your appliance open to allow the ice to melt.
•
If necessary, remove large chunks of ice with a cloth or something that won't damage
the walls.
•
Do not use hot water or other electric heating devices to melt accumulated ice.
•
After defrosting, remove accumulated ice/water and wipe the freezer compartment with
a soft cloth.
•
Restart the device according to the initial instructions. Never use a knife or other sharp
instrument to scrape off the ice inside.
Internal cleaning of the device
Before any maintenance, unplug the appliance and disconnect the power.
You should clean the inside of your freezer with a weak solution of baking soda. Then rinse
with lukewarm water with a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the accessories in hot
soapy water and make sure they are completely dry before putting them back on. Water will
flow into the defrost drain, it does not matter if the quantity of water is not important, this water
arrives in the collection tank located at the back and evaporates naturally.
Warning: make sure that no piece of food obstructs the defrost drain.
Cleaning the exterior of the device
Before any maintenance, unplug the appliance and disconnect the power.
Use a soft cloth and no abrasive cleanser to avoid damaging the surface.
The condenser grill at the back of your freezer and adjacent components can be cleaned using
a vacuum cleaner or soft brush to remove dust.
If you are going on vacation
If your appliance is not to be used for several months, remove all food, turn off and unplug the
appliance from the outlet. Clean and dry the inside and outside of the appliance thoroughly.
Also leave the door open, blocking it if necessary, to prevent condensation, odors, mold.
