Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.
2.Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover them and store them in a cool place.
3.Switch off the appliance and remove plug from the mains, or discon- nect from the electricity supply.
4.Remove all the drawers. Place the
bottom drawer directly in front of the appliance to collect the water from defrosting. Take out the
drainage channel from its resting position at the bottom of the freezer compartment and place it as shown.
Tip: In order to speed up the
defrosting process, place a pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete.
5.After defrosting thoroughly clean the freezer interior, as well as interior accessories (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning").
Hints and Tips
Normal Operating Sounds
•You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator.
•When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
•A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click when the thermostat cuts in and out.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator/freezer:
•Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.
•Do not store food uncovered.
