Carefully remove the dust with a soft brush at the back of the unit once a year. DEFROST You should defrost your appliance when an ice layer of about 5mm begins to form. Defrosting will take several hours. Turn off the appliance, unplug the power cord and open the door. The appliance will begin to defrost. We recommend placing a mop under the appliance. When the appliance is completely defrosted, dry everything again.DV1-WS / PR104DV / PR111DV / PR123DV / PR124DV / PR125DV

Note: Never use sharp or pointed objects to remove ice.The appliance contains refrigerant gas. If the pipes are accidentally perforated, the appliance will stop working and the warranty will also be void. When the appliance will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the appliance. Leave the door partially open, this will prevent the formation of mold and foul odors.

• If the unit is turned off for any reason, wait 10 minutes before turning it on again. The pressure in the cooling system should be stabilized before turning the unit on again.

• Turn off the appliance and unplug it. Remove all food products. Also remove or secure all mobile parts (drawers, etc.) in the freezer to prevent shock.

• Move the appliance and install. If the appliance was held on its side while being moved, even if very briefly, leave the appliance in the upright position for at least 10 minutes before turning it on.

• Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Notwithstanding that R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural gas, it is flammable. Therefore, be very careful while moving or installing your device to avoid dam- age to the cooling elements. In case of a leak caused by damage to the cooling elements, move your freezer away from open flames or heat sources and air the room the appliance is in for a few minutes. TIPS

• Do not freeze food back when it has already been defrosted.

• Do not put beverages with bubbles in the freezer.

• Be careful when consuming popsicles just out of the freezer to avoid freezer burns.
