CARE AND CLEANING
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
When the ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer should
be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your freezer
when there is little or no food inside.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Remove the contents of the freezer, wrap them in
newspapers, and keep them in a cold place.
Leave the appliance lid open.
Speed up defrosting by using the enclosed scraper
to detach the ice from the appliance walls.
Dry the interior of the appliance thoroughly.
Important! Never use a knife or any other sharp
implement to remove frost or ice.
CLEANING
The best time to clean your freezer is after defrosting.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply and
remove all loose accessories.
Use a damp cloth to clean your freezer. Use hot
water and a mild, non-aromatic detergent.
Clean the loose accessories, before replacing them
again.
Important! Never use strong detergents, scouring
powder or aromatic detergents to clean your freezer.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Remove all food from the freezer.
Clean the freezer as described above.
Leave the lid slightly open.
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
FREEZING FOOD
Before freezing, fresh food must be packed in airtight
and moisture-proof packaging to prevent it from
drying out.
Only use fresh food of the best quality.
Always leave hot food to cool to room termperature
before placing in the freezer.
Divide food into small portions before freezing; this
ensures that freezing is more rapid, and that you only
need to defrost the amount needed for immediate
consumption.
