Defrosting  the Your Freezer

• 

Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer, depending upon the length of 

time for which the door is left open or the amount of moisture introduced. It is essential to 

ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form in places where it will affect the close fitting 

of the door seal. This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, encouraging continuous 

running of the compressor. 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. It is not necessary to switch off the appliance for the removal of thin frost.

• 

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 cold. Defrosting will be most effective if carried out when the freezer 

is nearly empty and should be carried out as quickly as possible to prevent undue 

increase in temperature of the contents.

• 

Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate 

the defrosting process. An increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting will 

shorten the storage life. If the contents are well wrapped and placed in a cool area they 

should keep for several hours.

• 

Dry the inside of the compartment with a 

sponge or a clean cloth.

• 

To accelerate the defrosting process, place 

one or more bowls of warm water in the 

freezer compartment.

• Examine  the  contents  when  replacing  them 

in the freezer and if some of the packages 

have thawed out they should be eaten within 

24hours, or be cooked and re-frozen.

• After defrosting has finished, clean the inside of the appliance 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 3 before introducing the food back into 

the freezer.

TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF 

INSTALLATION POSITION

Transportation and changing of Installation position

• 

The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.

• 

During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong 

rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting.

• 

Before transporting or changing the installation position, 

all the moving objects (ie, drawer, Ice trays, …)  should 

be  taken  out  or  fixed  with  bands  in  order  to  prevent 

them from getting damaged.

!

Carry your freezer in the upright position.
