Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrap away the frost, nor should you use any electrical
appliances to aid defrosting.
Cleaning
Defrosting
The freezer compartment of this unit is frost-free. With proper use, there should not be any frost
accumulated.
However, in case of improper use of the freezer compartment, 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 rug or blanket to keep it cool.
2. Place a shallow bowl or pan below the freezer compartment. Scrap 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, scrap 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, drawers and salad bin before cleaning. To remove the salad bin first remove the
lower fridge 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, drawers and
salad bin.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure that
the doors are closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seals or inside the fridge/freezer
compartments.
• 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 maybe due to a change in room temperature.
Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician for
assistance.
