Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT

the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.

Warning!

• Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning

products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or

alcohol.

• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accu-

mulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot

vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.

• The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.

Attention!

• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.

– lemon juice or the juice from orange peals;

– butyric acid;

– cleansers which contain acetic acid.

Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance

parts.

• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.

1. About 12 hours prior to cleaning push the fast freeze button, in order

to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.

Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze

to the goods.

2. Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover

them and store them in a cool place.

3. Switch off the freezer and remove plug from the mains, or switch off or

turn out the circuit breaker or the fuse.

4. Defrost the freezer compartment (see section: "Defrosting").

5. Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of

soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.

6. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean

and free from debris.

Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption.

For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the

appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.

7. After everything is dry place appliance back into service.
