Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be 

removed with a brush or plastic scraper. Do not 

use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices 

or other means to accelerate the defrosting 

process. Remove all dislodged frost from the 

cabinet floor. For the removal of thin frost it is 

not necessary to switch off the appliance.
For the removal of heavy ice deposits disconnect 

the appliance from the mains supply and empty 

the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in 

thick blankets or layers of paper to keep them 

cold. Defrosting will be most effective if carried 

out when the freezer is empty, and it should be 

carried out as quickly as possible.
An increase in temperature of frozen food 

packages during defrosting will shorten the 

storage life. Provided that the contents are well 

wrapped and placed in a cool area, they should 

keep for several hours.
Examine the contents when replacing them in 

the freezer and if some of the packages have 

thawed out. After defrosting is finished clean the 

inside with a solution of warm water with a little 

bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. 

Wash all removable parts in the same way and 

reassemble.
Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and 

leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting number 7 before 

introducing the food back into the freezer and 

setting the thermostat to your normal setting.

Noise from your appliance

You may notice some rather unusual noises. The 

noises are caused by circulation of refrigerant 

in the cooling system. It has become more 

pronounced since the introduction of CFC free 

gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the 

performance of your fridge.

Prolonged off periods

If the appliance is not in use for a long period of 

time, proceed as follows:

1.  Disconnect from the mains supply. 

2.  Clean and dry the inside (see ‘Cleaning and 

maintenance’).

3.  Leave the door open to prevent any 

unpleasant smells from building up while the 

appliance is not in use.
