4.2 Càrrega del congelador

• No sobrecarregueu el congelador. Deixeu espai perquè l'aire circuli al voltant dels productes per a un refredament eficient.
• Ensure doors are closed completely after each use to maintain temperature and prevent ice buildup.
• Organize products to minimize door opening times.

5.1 Neteja

• Interior: Clean the interior regularly with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent odors and mildew. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool.
• Exterior: Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
• Juntes de la porta: Clean door gaskets regularly with warm water and mild soap. Ensure they are pliable and seal properly. Replace worn or damaged gaskets promptly.
• Serpentina del condensador: The condenser coil should be cleaned every 30 days or as needed. Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a stiff brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the coil. A dirty condenser coil can significantly reduce efficiency and increase energy consumption.

5.2 Descongelació

This unit features an automatic defrost system. However, if excessive ice buildup occurs, a manual defrost may be necessary. Refer to Section 4.1 for manual defrost initiation.
