Defrosting
Frost might build up in the freezer compartment after the freezer has been used for a period of time.
Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper (not provided).
Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrap away the frost. Do not use any electrical appliances
to aid defrosting.
We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 3cm (~1.18”).
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low and follow these procedures:
1. Take out the frozed food, turn the freezer off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally, the
frozen food should be put into another freezer or refrigerator. If this is not possible, wrap the food in
several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then a thick rug or blanket to keep it cool.
2. Place a shallow bowl or pan below the freezer. Scrap away the frost using a
plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost can be speeded up by placing a
bowl of hot water inside the freezer cabinet and closing the door. As the solid
frost loosens, scrap it away with the plastic scraper and remove.
3. When defrosting is complete, clean the freezer’s interior and exterior.
Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit
•
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm water
using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the detachable accessories.
•
Use a damp cloth to clean the unit exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure
that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the unit.
•
The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be vacuumed
using a soft brush attachment.
Cleaning Tips
Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This maybe due to a change in room temperature.
Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician for
assistance.
