defrosting
Defrost the freezer compartment when the layer of ice reaches a thickness of 3 to 5 mm.
Turn the thermostat (2) to OFF and unplug the appliance. Keep the contents of the freezer in a cool place and wrapped in
blankets or newspapers.
Place a container under the freezing compartment (4) and wait for the ice to defrost. You can speed up the defrosting
process by placing a bowl of hot water in the freezer.
Remove the ice with the included ice scraper.
Warning: Never remove the ice with the aid of sharp objects, defrost sprays, a hair-drier, a heater, or similar items. This may
lead to unsafe situations and may cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
Clean and dry the freezer comparment. Switch the thermostat on to the right setting. When the freezer compartment
reaches its correct temperature, replace the food items.

cleaning & maintenance
Before cleaning the appliance set the thermostat to OFF and always unplug the appliance.
Remove the food. Clean the interior of the appliance. Simply remove the drawers to clean them by hand. Do not clean the
interior accessories in the dishwasher. Use warm water and a neutral detergent, such as baking soda, to prevent any bad
smells occurring. Use two tablespoons and a quart liter of warm water. After cleaning, rinse the interior with clean water
and leave the door open to let it air dry for 1 to 2 hours before the power is turned on. Be careful not to affect the electrical
insulation properties when rinsing with water.
For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator, such as narrow gaps or corners, it is recommended to wipe them
regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. When necessary use some auxiliary tools, such as thin sticks (tooth picks), to ensure
no contamination can accumulate in these areas.
Clean the outside of the larder and the door gasket with mild soap and water. Use a soft moist cloth.
We recommend that you dust the back of the appliance and on the floor with a cloth or vacuum cleaner once a year in order
to maintain a good output and low energy consumption.
Do not use hard brushes, cleaning steel wire balls, wire brushes, abrasives, such as toothpastes, organic solvents (such as
alcohol, acetone, oils, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items to clean the refrigerator considering that this may damage
the fridge surface and interior. Boiling water and benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
