Use and Care Manual

III. HOW TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE

The freezer compartment should be defrosted two or three times a year when the ice is

about 1/8 inch thick. To defrost, follow these steps:

• Set the thermostat to "Colder" at least 12 hours before defrosting.

• After this period has elapsed, switch off the freezer compartment by removing the

plug from the main power supply.

• Remove all food from the freezer and wrap them in paper and store them in a cold

place and leave the door open.

• When the defrosting is finished, the compartment must be cleaned and wiped dry.

• Switch the appliance back on using the thermostat set to "Colder", and wait at least

one hour before replacing the foodstuffs.

• After a few hours, the thermostat can be set back to the original position

WARNING: Do not use mechanical devices or other artificial means to accelerate the

defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

WARNING: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartment of the

appliances, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

6. CLEANING AND DEFROSTING

CAUTION: To prevent any electrical shock hazards or injury by the rotating circulation

fan, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.

EXTERIOR CLEANING:

• Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. For heavily soiled surfaces, moisten a cloth with

detergent, wipe the surface, and then wipe it again with a cloth dipped in clean water.

WARNING:

• Do not splash water directly onto the chest freezer or wash it with water. This could

cause a short-circuit and/or electrical shock.

• Never use polishing powder, soap powder, benzine, oil, or hot water as these will

damage the painting and plastic components.

• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure,

clear of obstruction.

INTERIOR CLEANING:

• Open the door and wipe clean with a dry cloth.
