LARDERS AND FRIDGES
Your Larder Refrigerator or Fridge
automatically defrosts regularly, every time
the cooler finishes a cycle (dependent upon
room temperature, thermostat setting and
how often you open the door). The defrost
water will collect in the trough, located at the
back of the Larder Refrigerator or Fridge,
behind the salad bin. It is important to keep
the defrost drain (the small hole in the middle
of the back of the Larder) clear, otherwise
defrost water will overflow onto the inside
floor of the Larder Refrigerator or Fridge. If
the drain does become blocked you can clear
it by carefully using a cotton bud or a straw
(do not suck the straw!).
FREEZERS AND ICE BOXES
When should you defrost?
• When there is a frost build up on the
walls of half a centimetre, or about half
the thickness of your finger. A thick
layer of frost on the inside your Elan
will make it less efficient and consume
more electricity.
• When food stocks are low.

DEFROSTING
Switch off and unplug your Elan from its
electricity supply.
You can keep some food frozen by
wrapping it in an old blanket or
newspaper or cooler bag / box if you have
one. If you have a fridge Freezer you can
use the Fridge as a cooler box by placing
food in it whilst you are defrosting. Don't
forget though, the fridge compartment
turns off when you disconnect it from the
mains supply so it's not actually keeping
food cold, just protecting it from the
room's warmth.
If you are defrosting a Freezer, remove its
drawers. Lift up the front of the baskets
as you slide them out and remove them
completely.
