Cleaning
Defrosting
After a period of time frost will build up in the freezer. As a temporary measure, this frost should be scraped away
using a plastic scraper of the plastic kitchen implement.
NOTE: Do not use a metal or shape instrument and do not use any electrical appliances to aid defrosting.
Complete appliance's defrosting will however become necessary approximately once per year, or if the frost layer
exceeds 5cm (") to maintain the efficiency of the freezer. This should be carried out if the frost build up cannot be
scraped away, or if it begins to interfere with the food storage. Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low
and proceed as follows:
1. Take out the frozen food, run the freezer off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally the frozen food
should be put into another freezer or refrigerator. If this is not possible, warp the food firstly in several sheets of
newspaper of large towels and then a thick rug or blanket and keep it in a cool place.
. Place a shallow bowl or pan below the freezer. Scrape away as much frost build up as possible using the plastic
scraper. Thawing of the remainder can be speeded up by placing bowls of hot water inside the freezer cabinet
and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, prize it away with the plastic scraper and remove.
. When defrosting is complete, clean your freezer as described in CLEANING.
Cleaning inside the freezer
You should clean the freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse it with warm water
using a 'wrung-out' sponge or cloth. Wipe the freezer dry before replacing the basket. Plug in and switch on the
mains supply.
Cleaning of the outside of the freezer
Use standard furniture polish to clean the freezer exterior. Make sure that the door is closed, to prevent polish get-
ting on the magnetic door seal or inside the cabinet.
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
Defrost when food stocks are low.
NOTE: Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or After the Freezer is in place, it needs to be left solvents to clean
any part of the freezer.
