Drainage channel and drip tray
Condensation which forms on the back wall of the
fridge passes from the drainage channel to a drip
tray from which it evaporates (see Figure 11). The
drain and drip tray should be cleaned regularly to
avoid the build up of impurities. Wipe the channel
with a damp cloth and use the cleaning tip to clean
out any residue from the drainage hole.
Finally, unclip the drip tray from above the
compressor motor by pulling it firmly in the
direction of the arrow (see Figure 12). Wash it out
and clip it back into position. Place the end of the
drain hose back in the tray to catch drips.
Lamp replacement
To remove the lamp cover, squeeze the sides of
the light diffuser (Figure 13) and pull the diffuser
downwards. Unscrew the lamp and replace it with
one of the same type, (15 Watts SES E14).
Replace the cover by snapping it back into its
housing.

Freezer - defrosting
Caution: Do not touch ice with bare skin to
avoid ‘ice burns’.
It is wise to defrost the freezer if the ice build up
exceeds 6mm, otherwise the efficiency of the
freezer will reduce and the electricity consumption
will increase.
Defrost the freezer when the stock of frozen
contents is low.
Unplug the freezer and empty the frozen food into
insulated bags or boxes.
Leave the door open and place bowls or any other
suitable container under each shelf to catch the
water from the melting ice.
Bowls of hot water may be placed in the freezer to
speed up defrosting.
Plastic scrapers can be used as an aid to
defrosting.
Important
O
Do not use electrical appliances such as heaters
or hair dryers to melt the ice.
O
Do not use metal objects such as knives or
skewers to chip away the ice as these can
damage the freezer walls and cooling pipes.
When all traces of ice have been removed from the
interior of the freezer, use a teaspoonful of
bicarbonate of soda diluted in a pint of warm water
to wipe the internal surfaces and shelving to
remove food residues and odours.
Clean the door seals.
Leave to dry before reloading food.
Replace the plug in the mains socket and switch
on.
Only replace food which is still fully frozen. If any of
the food has started to thaw throw it away.
