DEFROSTING
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed.
To start 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 all freezer baskets.The special defrost collection basin collects the defrost water.
Therefore defrosting can be conducted without mess.
Containers full 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, forks to remove the
frost.
Never use hairdr yers, electrical heaters and other similar electrical
appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, sponge out any defrost water which collects at the
bottom of the freezer and dry the interior thoroughly. Turn the thermostat knob to
2 and press fast freeze switch. Close the freezer door. Insert the plug into the wall
socket and switch on the electricity supply. Don't forget to tape over the switch to
avoid accidental disconnection.After about three hours you may turn off the fast
freeze switch.
MAKING ICE CUBES
Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it on the special Ice Bank.
Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a spoon. Never use sharp edged
object such as knives, forks. Store ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.
You can also freeze small soft fruits like strawberries in the Ice Bank tray.

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 the handle of
a spoon. 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 door ajar.
** To remove a basket, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, and
then pull it out completely.
** 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 door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food
particles.
** Never :
• Clean the worktop with unsuitable material; eg petroleum based products.
• Subject it to hot temperatures in any way,
• Scour, rub etc., with abrasive material.
