Defrosting
The compartments of this unit are frost free. With proper use, there should not be any frost accumulated.
However, in the case of improper use of the freezer compartments, frost might build up in the freezer
compartments after the unit has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the frost using a plastic
scraper (not included).
We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 3 mm.
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, and follow these steps:
1. Take out the food, turn the unit off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally, the frozen
food should be put into another freezer. If this is not possible, wrap the food in several sheets of
newspaper or large towels and then a thick blanket to keep it cool.
2. Place a shallow bowl or pan below the freezer compartment. Scrap away the
frost using a plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost can be speeded
up by placing a bowl of hot water inside the freezer compartment cabinet
and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, scrap it away with the plastic
scraper and remove.
3. When defrosting is complete, clean your unit’s interior and exterior.
Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit
• Remove all the shelves, drawers and salad bins before cleaning.
• Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of Bicarbonate of soda and then rinse with warm water
using a ‘damp’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves, drawers and salad
bins.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe dry with a dry cloth.
• The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be vacuumed
using a soft brush attachment.
• Do not use polish, harsh abrasives or other chemicals as this may affect the finish of the unit.
Cleaning Tips
Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a change in room temperature.
Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician for
assistance.
Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrap away the frost, nor should you use any electrical
appliances to aid defrosting.
