Maintenance and Cleaning
Automatic defrosting
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator as this appliance
has automatic defrost. Ice on the rear wall of the appliance
interior defrosts when the compressor is not running and
runs down into the outlet in the inner back wall to the drain
pan above the compressor, when it evaporates.
Manual defrosting of the freezer compartment
If the ice in the freezer exceeds 3 – 5mm, it will need
defrosting.
Remove any food from the compartment that is frozen and
store in a cold place, wrapped in layers of newspaper to
preserve its temperature.
Turn the thermostat to the (0) STOP position and disconnect
the power supply.
Use a suitable cloth to clean the defrosted ice and water
from the compartment once it begins to melt, and leave the
compartment door open to accelerate defrosting.
Do not use defrosting sprays to accelerate defrosting as
these may damage the compartment interior.
Sharp metal implements should not be used to scrape ice
from the inside of the compartment – they can puncture the
lining of the compartment, you may use plastic scarpers
which are suitable for use on freezers.
Once defrosting is completed, turn the thermostat back to
the setting you require and replace foods back into the
freezer compartment. Please be aware that this food may
need to be consumed shortly after as partial defrosting may
have occurred which will affect the quality of the food.
In the event of a power cut
Should there be a prolonged power cut you may need to
remove food from the freezer compartment and store it in a
cold place, wrapped in layers of newspaper to preserve
suitable temperatures. Once power is restored – replace the
food back into the freezer compartment.
Should food begin to defrost, or the power cut last longer
than expected, it is advised that you consume any food
removed from the freezer.
If the power outage is short term, most foods can be left
inside the freezer compartment – this is the best way of
preserving temperature.
Do not use mechanical
devices to accelerate
the defrosting process
– unless they are of a
type recommended by
the manufacturer.
In the event of a
power cut, food should
remain safely cold for
16 hours.
