DEFROSTING AND CLEANING THE FREEZER
Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, always
unplug the appliance or disconnect it from the power
supply.
Defrost the freezer once or twice a year, or when the
frost on the refrigeration grills is excessive.
It is perfectly normal for frost to form on the grills. The
amount of frost and the speed at which it accumulates
depend on room conditions how often the door is
opened, and tends to accumulate more on the upper
grills.
It is advisable to defrost the freezer when it is nearly
empty.
• Open the door and remove all food products, wrapping
them close together in newspaper and place in a very cool
place or in a portable cooler.
• Leave the freezer door open to allow the frost to melt.
• Clean the inside of the freezer with a sponge soaked in
lukewarm water and/or neutral detergent. Do not use
abrasive substances.
• Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Put the food back into the freezer.
• Close the freezer door.
• Plug in the appliance.
• Switch the freezer on.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Periodically clean the condenser at the back of the appliance
with a vacuum cleaner or brush.
For long vacations
• Empty the freezer.
• Disconnect the freezer from the power supply.
• Defrost and clean the inside.
• Leave the door open to prevent the formation of
unpleasant odours and to eliminate the moisture
inside.
