KRAFT KM-297 [28/56] Defrosting and cleaning

CHEST FREEZER

USER GUIDE

DEFROSTING AND CLEANING

During operation, frost forms on the inner walls of the chest freezer. Therefore, it is

recommended to carry out full defrosting 2-3 times a year or when the thickness of the

frost layer is more than 5 mm.

* If you plan to go somewhere for an extended period, disconnect the appliance from

the power supply, remove the food, defrost and wash it well from the inside. Leave the

door open to prevent the appearance of an unpleasant smell.

ATTENTION! Before defrosting and washing the chest freezer, make sure that it

is disconnected from the power supply and that the power cord plug is unplugged.

Choose a time when the stock of frozen food will be small, and proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the chest freezer from the power supply.

2. Remove the food from the chest freezer and transfer it to another freezer or

refrigerator. If this is not possible, wrap the food first in a few sheets of paper or

towels, and then in a thick blanket and put it in a cool place.

3. Remove all baskets from chest freezer and leave the door

open. Open the drain plug located at the bottom of the chest

and install a container to collect the defrost water.

4. Clean as much frost as possible from the inner walls of the

freezer using a plastic scraper. Do not use metal or sharp objects to break the ice!

5. To speed up the thawing process, place a bowl of hot water in the chest freezer. As

the ice melts, remove it with a plastic scraper. Collect the remaining meltwater with a

dry cloth.

6. After defrosting is complete, wash and wipe the chest freezer dry with soft cloth

cloths.

ATTENTION! Do not use:

– electric heating devices to accelerate the thawing process;

– metal scrapers and sharp objects to remove ice and frost;

– chlorine-containing agents and acids when cleaning the freezer.

CLEARING

Keep the chest freezer and the door seal clean. Before washing, disconnect it from

the power supply!

1. Wash the chest freezer outside and inside with a clean cloth soaked in warm water

with liquid detergent. Then wipe dry with a dry cloth.

2. Do not use sharp metal scrapers, caustic and abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch

the surfaces of the chest freezer.

3. Do not use a high-pressure cleaner or steam jet cleaners, as penetrating moisture

can cause electric shock.

4. After cleaning, check that the power cord is not damaged. Then insert the plug firmly

into the wall outlet.
