Maintenance & Cleaning
Defrosting
Note: Care must be taken when performing the following procedure.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of approximately 7 mm (1/4”) has
formed.
•
6 hours before the defrosting process, set the thermostat knob at the “6”
position to make sure the food is at the lowest temperature before removing
the frozen foods. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper
and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
•
Switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
•
Remove the freezer basket. Leave the lid open. Containers of warm water (not
hot) may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting process.
•
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for
defrosting.
•
When the ice has melted, drain the water in the bottom of the freezer by
removing the plastic stopper in the bottom of the appliance (this is inside the
appliance)
•
NOTES: PLEASE KEEP THE PLASTIC STOPPER SAFE DURING THE DEFROSTING
PROCESS AND PUT IT BACK AFTER THE DEFROSTING PROCESS IS COMPLETE
•
Situated at the front left bottom corner of the appliance (this is on the outside
of the appliance), is a small plastic drain cap. Place a container under the drain
cap to catch the defrosted water. Unscrew the cap slowly so the drips out at
first, once the cap is completely unscrewed the water will flow in to the
container. This may take several attempts to drain all the water. After the
draining has been completed, replace the cap in the appliance and rotate the
drainage cap on the outside of the appliance.
•
Wipe up any spillages that may have occurred.
