Using Your Appliance
Defrosting your appliance
Your appliance will need defrosting periodically.
Ice forms on the inside of the appliance while it is in use,
this is normal, however if the ice becomes too thick
(between 4 - 6mm) it reduces efficiency and increases
energy consumption. Defrosting the appliance will help
to ensure the best performance possible.
To defrost:
l
Unplug the appliance and set the thermostat to the
‘off’ position.
l
Leave the appliance to defrost. You can accelerate
defrosting by placing a bowl of warm (not hot) water
inside the appliance on a piece of cardboard.
l
Do not use sharp, pointed or metal implements to
scrap ice from the inside of the appliance. Use a
plastic scraper.
l
Do not use mechanical devices (hair dryer etc.) to
accelerate the defrosting process.
l
Once defrosting is completed, make sure that the
inside of the appliance is dry and clean, plug in the
appliance and switch the thermostat to the required
temperature.
If there is any food in the appliance at the time of
defrosting, remove it from the appliance wrap it well and
store in a cool, dry place. Alternatively you can store it in
a different freezer if possible.
In the event of a power cut
If the power failure is 3 hours or less, food can remain
inside the appliance. Keep the door closed to maintain
the temperature inside.
If the power cut is longer than 3 hours, remove all food,
wrap well and store in a cool dry place.
Important: Be aware that the storage life of the food will
have been reduced. Use up this food as soon as possible
or discard. Do not re-freeze food which has thawed,
either consume or cook and re-freeze if appropriate.
