Caring for your Integrated Freezer

Defrosting
WARNING:
NEVER USE SHARP OBJECTS TO
REMOVE THE FROST AS THIS MAY
DAMAGE YOUR APPLIANCE AND
CAUSE REFRIGERANT TO LEAK.
After the appliance has been in operation
for some time, a layer of ice will form on the
aluminium panels and the fronts of the
drawers if the door is opened and fresh
food placed inside the freezer regularly.
This is completely normal. However, a
thick layer of ice will increase the
appliance's energy consumption.
You should therefore defrost the appliance
regularly.
Do this by switching the fast freeze button
on and leave it on for 24 hours to deep
freeze the food stored. After this period
take out the food and keep it in a cool
place.
Switch off the freezer and disconnect from
the mains.
Mop up the water which will collect in the
bottom basket of the freezer.
It is a good idea to clean the inside of your
Freezer after defrosting. Always switch off
at the socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug first. Wipe out the inside of the
Freezer using a clean cloth wrung out in
either a solution of one teaspoonful of
bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water or
domestic sterilising solution diluted
according to the manufacturer's
instructions. The complete interior including
the door and removable parts, should be
washed.
Every year remove the plinth grille and
vacuum clean the underside of the housing
unit and the grille to keep the air flow
passage clear of dust. This will mean that
the freezer operates at its peak efficiency.
Never use any household cleaner or
detergent, abrasive powders or wax polish.
These not only damage the surfaces, but
also leave a smell in the Freezer.
Before you refill the Freezer ensure it is
thoroughly dry.

The rubber door seal must be cleaned
with soap and water only as detergent
will damage it.
Remember to re-connect the mains plug
and switch on after cleaning your Freezer.
