Defrosting
Frost might build up in the freezer compartment after the fridge has been used for a period of time. Scrape
away the frost using a plastic scraper (not included).
Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrap away the frost, nor should you use any
electrical appliances to aid defrosting.
We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 3cm (~1.18").
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures:
Take out the chilled food, turn the freezer off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally, the
1.
frozen food should be put into another freeze compartment or refrigerator. If this is not possible, wrap
the food in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then a thick rug or blanket to keep it cool.
Place a shallow bowl or pan below the freeze compartment. Scrap away the frost using the plastic
2.
scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost can be speeded up by placing a
bowl of hot water inside the freeze compartment cabinet and closing
the door. As the solid frost loosens, scrap it away with the plastic
scraper and remove.
When defrosting is complete, clean your freezer’s interior and exterior.
3.
When the cabinet is completely clean and dry, close the lid, switch on the freezer again, and turn the
4.
thermostat control dial to MAX position.
Leave the unit to cool down for an hour, and then you may start placing frozen food inside the cabinet.
5.
After that, you need to turn the thermostat control dial to MIN position after 2 hours later.
Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Freezer
Wipe the inside of the freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm
•
water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and
drawers.
Use a damp cloth to clean the freezer exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make
•
sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the freezer.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the freezer and the adjacent components can be vacuumed
•
using a soft brush attachment.
Cleaning Tips
Condensation may appear on the outside of the freezer. This maybe due to a change in room
•
temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified
technician for assistance.
