2.
Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover
them and store them in a cool place.
3.
Switch off the appliance and remove plug from the mains, or discon-
nect from the electricity supply.
4.
Remove all the drawers. Place the
bottom drawer directly in front of
the appliance to collect the water

water drain spout from its resting
position at the bottom of the
freezer compartment and place it
as shown.
Tip:
In order to speed up the
defrosting process, place a pot of hot water in the freezer
compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before

accessories (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning").
Hints and Tips
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant
is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round
and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the
compressor.
• A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click
when the thermostat cuts in and out.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator/freezer:
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.
• Do not store food uncovered.
