Defrosting the bar fridge
•
Defrost the unit when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm
thick.
•
Turn the thermostat dial to the “Off” position and unplug the bar fridge from
the wall.
•
Remove frozen or perishable foods from the chiller compartment and place
them in a cooler to protect the food.
•
During the defrost cycle, the ice melts into the water drip tray.
•
To remove the water, either take out the drip tray and/or place a collection
container under the tray, or use a sponge or towel to wipe the melting ice off
the fridge floor.
•
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. After defrosting, dry the drip tray, place
it back under the chiller compartment and return the thermostat dial to the
desired position.
•
To defrost quickly, remove all foods from the fridge and leave the door open.
•
CAUTION: Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts.
WARNING: Never use a sharp or metal instrument to remove frost as it may
damage the cooling system and will void the warranty. We recommend using a
plastic scraper.
Cleaning the bar fridge
•
Turn the temperature control to the “Off” position, unplug the bar fridge and
remove the food, shelves and tray.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The
solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 litre of water.
•
Wash the shelves and tray with a mild detergent solution.
•
Clean the outside of the fridge with mild detergent and warm water.
•
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the
controls or any electrical parts.
•
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse
well and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
CAUTION: Make sure to unplug the unit before cleaning as failure to do so could
result in electrical shock or personal injury.
