Defrosting
Frost might build up in the unit after it has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the frost
using a plastic scraper (not included).
Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost, nor should you use any electrical
appliances to aid defrosting.
We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 3mm.
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures:
1. Take out the food, turn the unit off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally, the
frozen food should be put into another freezer. If this is not possible, wrap the food in several
sheets of newspaper or large towels and then a thick rug or blanket to keep it cool.
2. Place a dry towel on the edge of the compartment shelf. Scrape
away the frost using a plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost
can be speeded up by placing a bowl of hot water inside the freezer
compartment and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, scrape
it away with the plastic scraper.
3. When defrosting is complete, clean your unit's interior and exterior.
Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit
• Remove all the drawers before cleaning.
• 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 drawers.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make
sure that the doors are closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seals 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.
