Cleaning and Maintenance
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer should be defrosted once or
twice a year or when excessive frost is
present (3 mm thickness).
The formation of frost is normal. The
amount and rate at which frost accumulates
depends on room conditions and how often
the door is open.
To defrost the unit, switch off the freezer and
remove all food products.
Leave the freezer door open to allow the
frost to melt.
Clean the inside of the freezer. Rinse and
dry thoroughly. Switch the freezer back on
and store the food inside.
• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the foodstore to the
freezer in the shortest possible time.
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates
rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
If the appliance is not going to be used
Disconnect the appliance from the power
supply, remove all the food, defrost and
clean. Leave the doors open enough for air
to circulate inside the compartments. This
will prevent the formation of mould and bad
odours.
In case of power failures
Keep the doors of the appliance closed. In
this way the stored food will stay cold as
long as possible. Do not refreeze partially
thawed food, consume it within 24 hours.
