Hints for freezing
When rst starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings
before putting food in the compartment.
Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to
subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the
latter.
Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably cause frost
bums to the skin.

PART 5: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
For hygienic reasons the appliance (including exterior and interior accessories) should be cleaned regularly at
least every two months.
CAUTION!
The appliance must not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock!
Before cleaning switch the appliance o and remove the plug from the mains socket.
Exterior cleaning
To maintain good appearance of your appliance, you should clean it regularly.
- Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean, soft cloth.
- Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the appliance. This helps
ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface.
- Clean the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
CAUTION!
- Do not use sharp objects as they are likely to scratch the surface.
- Do not use Thinner, Car detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive cleansers or organic solvent
such as Benzene for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the appliance and may cause
re.
Interior cleaning
You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easier to clean when food stocks are low. Wipe
the inside of the freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with warm water using
a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry
all surfaces and removable parts.
As the appliance does not automatically defrost, frost will occur in certain areas in the freezer compartment
after a period of use. This frost can be scraped away by using a plastic scraper. NEVER use a metal or sharp
instrument.
However, complete defrosting will become necessary approximately four times per year, or if the frost layer
exceeds 4mm (1/4") aecting the system eciency. Complete defrosting should be earned out if the frost
cannot be scraped away, or if it begins to interfere with the food storage. Choose a time when the supply of
food is low and proceed as follows:
1. Remove existing food and accessories. unplug the appliance from the mains power and leave the doors
open. Ventilate the room thoroughly to accelerate the thawing process.
2. Scrape away as much frost as possible using the plastic scraper (scraper not included).
3. If necessary, place a cloth soaked with warm water on the frost layer's surface to accelerate the thawing
process.
4. When defrosting is completed, clean your freezer as described - see interior cleaning. Caution! Do not
use sharp objects to remove frost from the freezer compartment. Only after the interior is completely dry
should the appliance be switched back on and plugged back into the mains socket.

EN - 18
10/2014Copyright © 2014, Fast ČR, a. s.
Door seals cleaning
Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drinks can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear
when you open the door. Wash seal with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly after
cleaning.
CAUTION!
Only after the door seals are completely dry should the appliance be powered on.
Defrosting
Defrosting in the frozen food storage compartment
Defrosting in the freezer chamber is operated manually. Before defrosting, take the food out.
Take the ice tray and drawers out or put them into the fresh food compartment temporarily.
Leave the door of the refrigerator open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly and accumulate at the bottom
of the freezer chamber. Wipe out the water with the soft cloth.
In order to speed up the process of defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm water (about 50°C) Into the freezer
chamber and scrape away the Ice and frost with a defrosting spatula. After doing so, be sure to set the knob of
the temperature regulator to the original position.
It is not advisable to heat the freezer chamber directly with hot water or a hair dryer while defrosting to avoid
deformation of the inner case.
It is also not advisable to scrape o ice and frost or separate foods from the containers which have been
congealed together with the food with sharp tools or wooden bars, so as not to damage the inner casing or
the surface of the evaporator.
NOTICE:
The appliance should be defrosted at least once a month. During its usage, if the door has been opened
frequently the appliance has been used in extreme humidity, we advise the user to defrost every two
weeks.
