REFRIGERATION:
The Seawind 1000XL2 is fitted with a refrigerator/freezer two compartment ICEER
105 electric eutectic unit.
NOTE: When switched on, the fan will run at varying speeds as well as
stopping and starting. This is normal operation.
NOTE: There are no operation controls i.e. thermostat. Cabinet temperature is
controlled by the electronic ICEER control system. Because EUTECTIC fluid is
employed in ICEER fridges, the initial first cycle will be longer (up to 16 hours).
CARE AND CLEANING
Defrosting
At least once a year, or when the frost layer exceeds 3mm (1/8”):
(1) Switch off power.
(2) Remove frozen food and drawers, wrap food in a blanket or newspaper to
prevent thawing.
(3) Tip a container of warm water in to the freezer. The ice will start thawing which
will enable most of it to be removed by gently scraping with a soft plastic
or rubber spatula. Collecting the ice in a bowl while it is still solid will speed
up the defrosting process.
(4) Melted ice should be mopped up with a clean cloth or sponge. Use the
opportunity to clean the cabinet interior.
(5) When defrosting and cleaning are complete, dry thoroughly, switch power on
and replace food.
Cleaning
To maintain freshness and hygiene, the inside of the freezer should be washed
periodically. Use lukewarm water to which a little baking soda has been added
(1 teaspoonful to 1 litre water). Always rinse using a cloth dipped in clean warm water.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces.
Door seals and the surface in contact with the door opening should be cleaned
with warm water and then dried. After drying wipe all around.
WARNING
DO NOT clean interior with abrasive, scented or soapy materials.
DO NOT use car cleaning or household wax or polishes on the interior.
DO NOT use sun lamps, radiators or fan heaters to defrost or dry any part of the
freezer interior or exterior.
