Frost might build up in the freezer compartment after the unit has been used for a period of 

time. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper.
We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 3cm 

(~1.18”). Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures:
1.  Take out the food, turn the unit off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally, the 

frozen food should be put into another freezer. If this is not possible, wrap the food in several 

sheets of newspaper or large towels and then a thick blanket to keep it cool.

2.  Place a shallow bowl or pan below the freezer compartment. Scrape 

away the frost using the plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost 

can be speeded up by placing a bowl of hot water inside the freezer 

compartment cabinet and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, 

scrape it away with the plastic scraper and remove.

3.  When defrosting is complete, clean your unit’s interior and exterior.

Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit

•  Remove all the shelves and the salad bin. To remove the salad bin first remove the lower 

door shelf.

•  Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with 

warm water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the 

shelves and salad bin.

•  Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make 

sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside 

the unit.

•  The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be 

vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

Cleaning Tips

Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a change in room 

temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified 

technician for assistance.

Cleaning

Defrosting

Frost might build up in the unit after it has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the frost 

using a plastic scraper (not included).

Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost, nor should you use any 

electrical appliances to aid defrosting.
