according to the ambient temperature, the location of the freezer, the frequency
with which the lid is opened, and the volume and concentration of products
stored in it.

CLEANING YOUR FREEZER
➢
Clean the bin of the appliance using ½ a litre of warm water and a tablespoon
of bicarbonate of soda.
➢
Soak a soft cloth in the solution, wring it out, and use it to clean out the interior
of the freezer compartment and its fittings.
➢
Do not use wax polish, scouring powder, strong scented products or household
cleaners and detergent to clean the interior of the appliance as they may
damage the surface and leave a strong odour.
➢
The exterior of the appliance should be wiped clean periodically using a damp
cloth and a small quantity of household detergent. The lid seal should only be
cleaned with soap and water and then thoroughly dried. The absorption unit
behind to the appliance should be cleaned with a brush from time to time, but
make sure that the appliance is switched off and has cooled down when doing
this.
DEFROSTING
WARNING:
❖
Normally the temperature of items would rise during defrosting and so, they
should be consumed within 24 hours or discarded.
❖
Do not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of heating appliance, as this
might damage the internal surfaces of the freezer.
❖
No sharp object be used to scrape off the ice as this may damage the internal
surfaces of the freezer.
➢
Frost will gradually accumulate on the freezer surface. It must not be allowed
to grow thick as it acts as an insulator and adversely affects freezer
performance.
➢
Check the formation of frost regularly and when it gets around 5mm thick,
defrost the appliance.
➢
To defrost the appliance, turn it off and remove all food items.
➢
Once defrosting is complete, clean the interior thoroughly.
IMPORTANT:
❖
Before using the freezer again, ensure that no foreign bodies are present in the flue
chimney, or the burner (dust, insect, nests, waste paper etc.)
