FRIDGE DEFROSTING
The fridge defrosting process is carried out automatically every time the compressor
stops.
The defrost water is automatically routed to the drain port and into a tray placed on
the top of the compressor to the rear of the appliance from which it evaporates.
Make sure the drain port on the fridge at the rear of the appliance is kept clear.
1.
Unplug the appliance.
2.
Remove all substances.
3.
Clean the inside and outside walls with a clean sponge or soft cloth using warm
water or 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to 1.2 liters of water.
4.
Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
If the appliance is not to be used for a long period of time then it is recommended to
remove all the food stuff, clean the inside of the appliance and leave the door open to
allow the air to circulate thus avoiding unpleasant odors.
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.
Do Not use sharp objects such as knives to remove the ice from the appliance.
Only use a plastic scraper.
Do Not put hot food into the appliance. Let it cool down to room temperature.
Do Not put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated liquids into the
freezer as they may burst.
Do Not give children ice-cream and water ices direct from the freezer as the low
temperature may cause ‘freezer burns’ on the lips.
Do Not try to keep frozen food which has thawed; it should be eaten within 24 hours
or cooked and re-frozen.
