layers of paper to keep them cold. Defrosting will be most effective if carried out
when the freezer is empty, and it should be carried out as quickly as possible.
• An increase in temperature of frozen food packages during defrosting will shorten
the storage life. Provided that the contents are well wrapped and placed in a cool
area, they should keep for several hours.
• Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the
packages have thawed out.
• After defrosting is finished clean the inside with a solution of warm water with a
little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in the
same way and reassemble.
• Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting
number 7 before introducing the food back into the freezer and setting the
thermostat to your normal setting.
NOISE FROM YOUR APPLIANCE
• You may notice some rather unusual noises. The noises are caused by circulation
of refrigerant in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since
the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the
performance of your fridge.
PROLONGED OFF PERIODS
• If the appliance is not in use for a long period of time, proceed as follows:
1.
Disconnect from the mains supply.
2.
Clean and dry the inside (see ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
3.
Leave the door open to prevent any unpleasant smells from building up while the
appliance is not in use.
NOTES FOR USE
• Do clean and defrost your appliance regularly.
• Do check contents of the compartments every so often.
• Do store commercially prepared food in accordance with the instructions given on
the packets.
• Do choose high quality fresh food and be sure it is thoroughly clean before
freezing it.
• Do wrap all food in food quality polythene bags or air tight containers and make
sure any air is excluded.
• Do Not store poisonous or any dangerous substances in your freezer. It is designed
for the freezing of edible foodstuffs only.
• Do Not consume food which has been frozen for an excessive length of time.
• Do Not leave the door open for long periods, as this will make the appliance more
costly to run and cause excessive ice formation.

FREEZER DEFROSTING
• Frost will accumulate inside the freezer depending upon the length of time during
which the door is left open or the amount of moisture introduced.
• It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form at places where it will
affect the close fitting of the door seal.
• This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, thus encouraging continuous running
of the compressor.
• Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic
scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process. Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor.
• For the removal of thin frost it is not necessary to switch off the appliance.
• For the removal of heavy ice deposits disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply and empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets or
