We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds
up to 10 mm (~0.39”). 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, unplug the unit 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 rug or blanket to keep it cool.
2. To remove melted frost from the Drain Hole, place a suitably deeply container
under it. Remove the Drain Cap on the front of the unit. Reach down into the
freezer capacity and unscrew the Drain Plug.
3. Scrape away the frost using the plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost
can be sped 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.
4. After all the water has drained away, replace the Drain Plug and then the Drain
Cap.
5. When defrosting is complete, clean your unit’s interior and exterior.
6. When the cabinet is completely clean and dry,
close the lid, switch on the freezer again and turn
the thermostat control dial to MAX.
7. Leave the unit to cool down for an hour, and
then you can start placing frozen food inside the
cabinet. Remember to turn the thermostat
control dial to 1 after 4 hours.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
Frost may build up in the freezer compartment after it has been used for a
period of time. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper (included).
Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost, nor
should you use any electrical appliances to aid defrosting.
