DEFROSTING
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of a
round 7 mm (1/4”) has formed.
To start the defrosting procedure turn the thermostat knob to zero position.
Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool
place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove the freezer basket. Leave the lid open. Containers of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the
frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for
defrosting.
When defrosting has finished sponge out defrost water which collects at the bottom
of the freezer and dry the interior thoughly. Switch on the Fast Freeze and leave it
on for about three hours.
CLEANING AND CARE
** We recommend that you switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug before cleaning.
** Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent
and wax polish for cleaning.
** Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry.
** Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
** Excess deposit of ice should be removed on a regular basis using a plastic ice
scraper available from your local store. Large accumulation of ice will impair the
performance of the freezer.
** If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove
all food, clean it and leave the lid ajar.
** Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the back of the
freezer, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
** Check lid seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particies.
