MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Manual Defrosting of the All-Freezer
When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 1/8” thick you should defrost and
clean the freezer.
First turn the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position and disconnect the
power supply. Empty the freezer and make sure the packages remain
frozen.
Place a suitable container under the freezer to collect the defrost water.
Leave the freezer door open to accelerate defrosting.
Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance. Do not use coarse
or strong cleaning agents as they can damage the surface.
Clean the exterior with water and mild detergent. Powder-coated steel
surfaces can be cleaned with a soft cloth and an alcohol-based cleaning
agent (for example, a glass cleaner). You may also use alcohol (ethanol or
isopropyl alcohol). The application of abrasive and strong cleaners, such
as those made for stainless steel, is not appropriate for the cleaning of
plastic and coated parts.
Remove the detachable shelves and clean them with water and liquid
detergent. Plastic parts cannot be washed in a dishwasher.
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water to which you have
added one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.
Every now and then, clean the condenser on the rear wall. Use a soft non-
metallic brush or vacuum cleaner.
Clean the drain pan on the freezer's compressor, but do not remove the
drain pan.
After cleaning, reconnect the appliance to the power supply and reload the
packages.
Switching Off the Appliance When Not in Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a long time, set the thermostat knob
to the STOP (0) position and disconnect the power supply. Then take out the
foods and defrost and clean the appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
