Defrosting

Maintenance and Cleaning

The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with a plastic scraper whenever the thickness of frost exceeds 1 /4".

During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to perform this operation when the appliance is empty.

)To carry out complete defrosting:

1.Disconnect the freezer from the electricity supply.

2.Remove any stored food, wrap in several layers of newspaper and store in a cool place.

3.Leave the lid open.

4.To accelerate the defrosting process place a bowl of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and close the lid.

5.When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.

6.Turn the thermostat control back to a medium setting between 3-4 and leave to run for at least 2 hours.

7.Replace the previously removed food.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as this could damage the appliance beyond repair.

Something Not Working

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5m1 to 0.5 litre of water).

Rinse and dry thoroughly.

NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the lid open to prevent unpleasant smells.
