Cleaning And Maintenance - Iceking FF139W Installation And Operating Manual

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always ensure that the power supply is switched off prior to conducting any
maintenance or cleaning of the appliance.
If you leave your appliance out of use for an extended period, switch off, defrost,
clean the interior with soapy water, dry and leave the door open to prevent
mould and unpleasant smells building up inside.
DEFROSTING
The appliance should be defrosted once the thickness of ice on the walls
reaches 5-6 mm.
Do not use any electrical, sharp or mechanical objects to assist in defrosting the
ice removal process, unless supplied or approved by manufacturer or approved
Service Centre.
To remove ice from the inner walls, use a plastic or wooden scraper without
sharp edges. Never use a metal scraper.
Proceed as follows;
 Make sure to unplug the appliance.
 Dry your hands thoroughly to prevent skin damage by contact with ice (it is
advisable to use gloves)
 Remove all frozen food from the appliance, put it into a container or cool
box, put the frozen cool blocks on top of the frozen food to help keep it very
cold and place the container/cool box in a cool, dry room.
 Pull out the water drain plug (if available) located at the bottom of the
appliance, otherwise you must wipe up the water at the bottom of the
appliance compartment with a sponge or towel.
 Scrape the ice carefully from the inner of the appliance and put it into your
kitchen sink for defrosting.
 Thoroughly clean the inside of the appliance compartment, rinse with warm
water and remove any spilt food or liquids.
 Wipe the appliance with an absorbent cloth or sponge, thoroughly dry and
allow to air for about 3 to 4 minutes.
 Replace the drain-plug (if available)
