Defrosting
1.When the freezer operates for a long period of time,the surface of the evaporator and the drawers may become
covered with a layer of white frost. This frost will reduce the energy efficiency of the unit, and make the freezer less
effective. When this frost forms, it
should be promptly removed.
2.When defrosting, unplug the freezer, and remove all items from the freezer. Either allow the frost to melt naturally from
the warm air in the room, or carefully use a plastic scraper. Finally, wipe away any remaining ice and water, plug the
freezer in, and return
the food to the freezer.
CAUTION: Never use sharp tools to chip ice away.
Cleaning inside the Fridge/Freezer
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse
with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they
are completely dry before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer. Condensation will form on the back wall of the Fridge;
however it will normally run down the back wall and into the drain hole behind the salad bin.
The drain hole will have a “cleaning spike” inserted into it. This ensures that small pieces off food can not enter the drain.
After you have cleaned the inside of your Fridge and removed any food residues from around the whole, use the
“cleaning spike” to make sure that there are no blockages.
Cleaning outside the Freezer
Use standard furniture polish to clean the Freezer exterior. Make sure that the doors are closed to prevent polish getting
on the magnetic door seal or inside.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Freezer and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush
attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Freezer.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Trouble Shooting
Power cut
If the internal temperature of the Freezer compartment is -1
8
℃
or less when the power returns, your food is safe. The
food in your Freezer will remain frozen for approx 16 hours with the door closed. Do not open the Freezer door more than
necessary.
The Freezer is exceptionally cold
You may have accidentally adjusted the thermostat control dial to a higher position.
The Freezer is exceptionally warm
The compressor may not be working. Turn the thermostat control dial to the maximum setting and wait a few minutes. If
there is no humming noise, it is not working. Contact the local store where your purchase was made.
The Freezer is not working
Check it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in the plug has not blown. Plug
In another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the socket is working. The Freezer should be placed in a well ventilated
room with an ambient temperature of between 1
6
℃
and 38
℃
. Leave the Freezer for 30 minutes.
Condensation appears on the outside of the Freezer
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of moisture. If the problem continues contact
the local store where your purchase was made.
Noises inside the Freezer
If you have not owned a Freezer before, you may notice that it makes some rather unusual noises. Most noises are
perfectly normal; however you should be aware of them!
GURGLING, WHOOSHING
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid 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 Freezer.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Moving the Freezer
Location
Do not place your Freezer near a heat source, eg. Cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or
sun lounges.
Leveling the Freezer
Make sure the Freezer is level. Use the rotating leveling feet at the front. If the Freezer is not level, the doors and
magnetic seal alignments will be affected and may cause your Freezer to work incorrectly.
Do not turn on the Freezer for 4 hours
After the Freezer is in place it needs to be left for 4 hours. This allows time for the coolant to settle.
Installation
Don’t cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
