Defrosting Frozen Food; Cleaning The Interior And The Exterior Of The Unit; Cleaning The Water Tank And Water Dispenser - Kenwood KSBSDB19 Installation Instructions Manual

defrosting frozen food

• Take the frozen food out from the unit and uncover the frozen food. Let it defrost at room
temperature. Don't forget that defrosting in a warm area encourages the growth of bacteria and
low temperature cooking may not destroy dangerous bacteria.
• Drain off and throw away any liquid lost during defrosting.
• Always make sure there are no ice-crystals in the food before cooking, particularly with meat.
These crystals indicate that the food has not fully defrosted.
• Cook food as soon as possible after defrosting.
• Many microwaves and ovens have a defrost setting. To avoid bacterial build up, only use these if
you intend to cook the food immediately afterwards.
Never re-freeze anything that has been defrosted unless you cook it again, to kill off harmful
bacteria. Never re-freeze defrosted shellfish. Re-seal packs properly after removing items.
This prevents drying or freezer-burn and a build up of frost on any remaining food.

cleaning the interior and the exterior of the unit

• Remove all foods from the unit. For foods from the freezer, place them well-covered in other cool
storage containers.
• Switch off and unplug the unit.
• Remove all the shelves, drawers and other accessories. Wash them then wipe dry.
• Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm
water using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and drawers.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the 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 unit.
• The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be
vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

cleaning the water tank and water dispenser

• Remove the water tank. Wash the tank, tank cover, small cap and valve lightly
under water.
• After cleaning, dry them thoroughly before installing back in the fridge.
• Wipe the receiving base of the water dispenser with dry towel regularly to avoid
overflowing.
Do not use any abrasive or acidic cleaners. Do not use steam cleaners.
