Care & Cleaning

For model no. RSB20 Refrigerator Defrosting the Frozen Food compartment: WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools for this operation as they can damage your fridge beyond repair.

Defrosting should be carried out regularly - either, every two or three weeks or when the ice is between 3 - 5mm thick. This will ensure that your appliance operates efficiently.

A build up of ice could cause damage to the freezer door flaps or create incorrect temperatures inside the fridge compartment.

*The day before you plan to defrost, set the thermostat dial to the 5. position to completely freeze the contents.

*During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.

*Before defrosting pull out the water tray plug (1) on the water tray (2) and place a bowl (3) underneath the tray hole to collect the water. Ensure you use a bowl large enough to contain the water.

*To defrost the fridge turn the thermostat control knob to the O (OFF) position or you may switch off the appliance at the mains socket and pull the plug out.

*To accelerate the process, leave the door open and one or more basins of warm water can be placed in the freezer compartment.

*Dry the inside of the unit and water tray, refit the tray plug and set the thermostat knob to the 5. position.
