5. Maintenance

5.1 Defrosting (LowFrost Technology)

This appliance features LowFrost technology, which significantly reduces ice formation, meaning defrosting works faster and has to be done less often. When a layer of frost approximately 3-5 mm thick has formed, the freezer should be defrosted.

1. Unplug the appliance from the power supply.
2. Remove all food items and store them in a cool place.
3. Leave the freezer door open to allow the frost to melt naturally. Place towels or a shallow tray at the bottom to collect water.
4. Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly before plugging the appliance back in and returning food.

5.2 Cleaning

Regular cleaning of your freezer will help maintain its performance and hygiene.

• Clean the interior with a mild detergent and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
• Clean the door seals regularly to ensure a tight seal.
• Vacuum the condenser coils at the back of the appliance periodically to improve efficiency.
