DEFROSTING AND DRAINING THE CHEST FREEZER
→
Defrost the Chest Freezer whenever the frost becomes 1cm thick. Never use a sharp or
metallic instrument to remove the frost as it may damage the unit. Any puntures to the
chest freezer will void the warranty.
→
Unplug the Chest Freezer and un-screw the drain plug by turning it counter-clockwise.
→
Remove the drain-plug from the inside of the freezer and leave the door open to allow air
flow.
→
Defrosting usually takes 2-3 hours.

Short vacations:
Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than
three weeks.
→
Long vacations:

or have the door removed.
MOVING YOUR FREEZER
→
Remove all the food.
→
Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer.
→
Remove the rollers to prevent damage.
→
Tape the doors shut.
→
Be sure the freezer stays in the upright position during transportation.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
→
The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
→
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the
freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose
quality, or spoil.
→
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
→
Freezer storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
→
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
OPERATION IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
In the event of an emergency you should:
→
Switch off all oven controls (i.e. Cooking Function and Temperature)
→
Switch the oven off at the isolation switch or at the fuse box.
→
