Defrosting the bar freezer
• For efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the bar freezer
when the frost on the freezer walls is building up; do not let frost build up to more
than 3 – 4 mm thickness.
• Unplug the bar freezer and remove the food, storage drawer and shelves. (Keep any
frozen food temporarily in a fridge or cooler bag to keep defrosting to a minimum.)
• Keep the door open and place a tray and old towel underneath the appliance to
collect the defrost water.
• After the frost or ice in the bar freezer has melted, discard the defrost water and
clean and dry all interior freezer surfaces thoroughly. (See below for how to clean
the interior surfaces.)
Cleaning the bar freezer
WARNING!
Before defrosting or cleaning the bar freezer, ensure it is switched off and disconnected
from the power supply. Failure to do so can result in electric shock or injury.
WARNING!
• Never use sharp or metallic tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you
could damage it. To scrape ice off surfaces, use a plastic scraper.
• Do not use boiling water to accelerate defrosting because it may damage the
plastic parts.
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including the interior accessories, should
be cleaned regularly. We recommend cleaning the bar freezer after defrosting it, while
all frozen food, shelves and the drawer are already removed from the cabinet.
• Make sure the bar freezer is unplugged from the power supply and all food and the
storage drawers are removed.
• Wash the inside surfaces and the interior accessories with a damp, warm cloth
moistened in a water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about
2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 litre of water. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Clean the outside of the unit with a damp, well wrung out cloth. Keep the door
gasket (seal) clean.
• After everything is dry, place appliance back into service.
