Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form around

the top compartment.

Important! Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches

a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of

newspaper and put it in a cool place.

3. Open the door.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-

oughly.

5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum

coldness and run the appliance for two or three

hours using this setting.

7. Reload the previously removed food into the com-

partment.

Warning! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off

frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.

Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to

speed up the thawing process other than those

recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise of

the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten

their safe storage life.

Cleaning the air channels

1. Remove the plinth

(1), then the ventila-

tion grille (2);

2. Clean the ventilation

grille.

3. Carefully pull the air

deflector out (3),

checking that there is

no water left from the

defrosting.

4. Clean the lower part

of the appliance with

a vacuum cleaner.

following precautions:
