User manual

Important! When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front
edge to avoid scratching the floor.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain
chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in
this appliance. For this reason use a soft cloth rinsed in
warm water and neutral soap emulsion for cleaning ex-
ternal surfaces.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive paste as
these will damage the paint, or stainless steel anti
finger print coating.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains
supply.
Cleaning the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be
removed to wash the grille.
Make sure the door is open
when removing the ventila-
tion grille:
1. Loosen the upper
edge of the grille by
pulling outward/down-
ward.
2. Pull the grille straight out to completely remove it.
3. Vacuum clean under the cabinet.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer
shelves and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thick-
ness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:
• switch off the appliance and pull out the plug from
the wall socket
• remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place
• remove the freezer drawers
• put insulating material around the drawers, e.g. blan-
kets or newspapers.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with hot
water (not boiling) inside the freezer.
• Loosen the drainage
channel from its resting
position, push it in ac-
cording to the illustration
and collect a water con-
tainer.
• carefully scrape off the
ice when it starts to
thaw. Use a wood or a
plastic scraper
• when all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the cabi-
net dry, then put the drainage channel back in place.
• switch on the cabinet, insert the plug into the wall
socket and replace the frozen foodstuff.
Important! 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.

from spoiling in case of a power failure.
