DEFROSTING
Heavy frost will effect the refrigerating process or internal temperature of the
appliance and increase the power consumption. Thus, defrosting is required
if the frost is >5mm thick. Defrosting is a manual process. Please follow
these steps:
1. Switch off and disconnect the appliance.
2. Remove all food from the freezer compartment.
3. Remove the wire basket(s).
4. Open the lid and wait for the ice to defrost.
5. During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
6. Remove the drain plug on the inside
fl
oor of the freezer by pulling
straight out.
7. Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet.
8. Check the pan occasionally so the water does not over
fl
ow.
9. When de-icing, a scraper or plastic utensil (supplied) may be used.
Never use metal instruments or electrical appliances to de-ice the freezer.
10. To speed up the defrosting process, you can place a bowl of hot water in
the compartment and close the lid.
11. Clean the interior of the freezer.
12. Replace the plug on the inside
fl
oor.
13. Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
14. Replace the wire basket and food before restoring power.
15. Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.
16. Switch on the Fast Freeze for a minimum of 2 hours.
Do not use an electric heater or hair dryer to increase the
defrost process. It may destroy the cooling system.
