refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do |

|

|
|
|

not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the droplets which have frozen.
If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check to ensure that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube
(2). If the frost layer reaches about 1/4"(7 mm), reduce the setting (i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart automatic defrosting.
B) FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Defrosting is very easy and without mess thanks to a special defrost collection basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed. To start defrosting procedure switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder). Remove all freezer dravers.
Containers full of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters and other similar electrical appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, sponge out any defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer and dry the interior thoroughly. Insert the plug in to the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.
CLEANING AND CARE
**We recommend that you switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.
**Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
**Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the appliance and wipe it dry.
**Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
**Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing.
**Excess deposits of ice should be removed on a regular basis with the handle of a spoon. Large accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the appliance.
**If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
**Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the back of the appliance, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
**Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
**Removal of door tray
•To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.
**To remove a freezer drawer, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, and then pull it out completely.
**To remove the freezer flap door, first open the door 3” and then gently pull it off. Make sure that the flap is in place before closing the freezer door.
