You can defrost food in five different ways:
•
By putting them in your appliance's refrigerator section for several hours
•
By leaving them to defrost gently at ambient temperature
•
In a conventional oven at a very low temperature (40/50°C)
•
In a microwave oven
•
By cooking them immediately
Defrosting them in the refrigerator is the slowest but safest method.
Never refreeze food once it has defrosted, even partially, without cooking it first.
We advise not to place any items you have just taken out of the freezer straight into your mouth
(ice cream, ice cubes, etc.), they will be at a very low temperature, and you risk frostbite. Avoid
touching frozen or deep-frozen food with wet hands; your skin may stick to the food. We
recommend that you only defrost food for immediate use.
6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
Defrost
your appliance when frost is accumulated on the evaporator is about 2mm:
•
Unplug the appliance.
•
Remove all contents from the appliance.
•
Leave the fridge door open to allow melting of the ice.
•
Remove large pieces of ice if necessary with a dishcloth or something that will not damage the
walls.
•
Do not use hot water or other electric heaters to melt the accumulated ice.
•
After defrosting, remove the accumulated ice / water and try the appliance with a soft cloth.
•
Restart the unit according to
to scrape ice inside.
Before cleaning, unplug the power plug first; Do not plug in or plug out the plug with wet
hand, because there is a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill water directly on
the refrigerator, to avoid rust, electricity leakage and accidents. Do not stretch your hands into
the bottom of the refrigerator, since you might be scratched by sharp metal corners.
Cleaning inside the fridge
After defrosting you should clean the fridge internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then
rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy
water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing them in the fridge. Condensation will form
on the back wall of the Fridge; however, it will normally run down the back wall and into the drain hole
behind the salad bin.
Cleaning outside the fridge
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the fridge exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the fridge and the adjacent components can be vacuumed
using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the fridge.
If you're 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.
