Defrosting of Frozen Food

Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as
possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy

Maintenance and Cleaning

Freezer Defrosting

Frost and ice layer, depositing on the inner walls of the freezer
should be defrosted when 3-5 mm thick.
• 24 hours prior defrosting press the continued operation
mode button (2) (yellow lamp is on) to provide extra low
temperature of food inside the freezer. After this period take
the food out and protect them from melting.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage
to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.
• Water collected at the bottom basket of the appliance should
be mopped with a sponge or highly absorbing cloth.

Cleaning the Appliance

Before cleaning the appliance disconnect the cable from
the mains supply. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
• Clean the exterior of the appliances with water and liquid
detergent.
Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth and an
alcohol based cleaning agent (for example glass cleaners).
You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol).
The application of abrasive and specially aggressive
cleaners, such as the stainless steel cleaners, is not
appropriate for the cleaning of plastic and coated parts.
• Wash the interior with lukewarm water and some vinegar.
• The air openings in the bottom rail should be cleaned or
vacuumed periodically.
• Sound alarm signals the excessive dusting of the
condenser. The alarm may be switched of by the alarm off
button (3).
Cleaning of the condenser
Dust from the condenser should be vacuumed in the
following manner:
− push the finger through the opening in the bottom rail
and release the fastener;
− pull the rail towards you and remove it;
