CLEANING AND CARE
Cleaning
• For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should
be cleaned regularly.
• Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or
switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Never clean the appliance with a
steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in elec- trical components. Hot vapors
can lead to the damage of plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before it is
placed back into service.
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the
juice form orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid.
• Do not allow such substances to come into contact the appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
• Remove the food from the freezer. Store them in a cool place, well covered.
• Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water.
• After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
• After everything is dry place appliance back into service.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer, however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be
removed. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you
could damage it. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as fellows:
• Unplug the unit. Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer. Defrosting
usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door open.
• For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug.
• Pull out the drain dial .
• Rotate the drain dial 180 degree. This will let the water flow out in the tray.
• When done, push the drain dial in. Re-plug the drain plug inside the freezer.
• Note: Monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow.
• Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in the electrical
outlet.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
