defrosting
Defrost the freezer compartment when the layer of ice reaches a thickness of 3 to 5 mm.
Turn the thermostat to OFF and unplug the appliance. Keep the contents of the freezer in a cool place and wrapped in
blankets or newspapers.
Open both outlets on the inside and at the front of the freezer and place a container underneath it. Wait for the ice to
defrost.
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. Turn the thermostat back on the right setting. When the freezer reaches its correct temperature,
replace the food items.

cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning the appliance set the thermostat to OFF and always unplug the appliance.
Clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm water and a neutral detergent to prevent any bad smells occurring. After
cleaning, rinse the interior with clean water and rub dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. Simply remove the
shelves, drawer and door compartments to clean them by hand. Do not clean the interior accessories in the dishwasher.
Clean the outside of the appliance and the gasket with a soft moist cloth.
For areas that are difficult to clean in the appliance, 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.
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.
