Important user information IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to make sure that the airflow duct vents on the rear interior wall of the fridge and freezer sections are not blocked. IMPORTANT: If your mains power supply fails, then the food inside of the freezer section will be preserved for a 12 hour period.
o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply. Defrosting the freezer compartment Your appliance is frost free, so you will not need to manually defrost the freezer section. However if for example the door is left open for a prolonged period of time or the door gasket is not sealing correctly, then you could get ice building in the freezer section.
