CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER
Cleaning
•
Before cleaning your fridge freezer, turn your mains supply off and remove the plug from the socket.
• Do not wash your fridge freezer by pouring water on to it.
• Use a warm, soapy cloth or sponge to wipe the interior and exterior of your fridge freezer.
• Carefully remove all shelves and drawers by sliding upwards or outwards and clean with soapy water. Do not
wash in a washing machine or dishwasher.
• Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all purpose cleaning agents to clean your fridge
freezer. This may cause damage to the plastic surfaces and other components with the chemicals they contain.
• Clean the condenser at the back of your fridge freezer at least once a year with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
Make sure that your fridge is unplugged while cleaning.
The Fresh Dial
(In some models)
If the crisper is full, the fresh dial located in front of the crisper should
be opened. This allows the air in the crisper and the humidity rate to be
controlled, to increase the life of food within.
The dial, located behind the shelf, must be opened if any condensation
is seen on the glass shelf.

Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment;
• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation ; water is collected by the
evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from
collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator.
Freezer compartment;
• The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically.
• Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerator circuit and cause
irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic scraper provided.
• When there is more than 5 mm of frost on the shelves, defrosting
must be done.
• Before defrosting operation, place the frozen food in a cool place
after wrapping them in sheets of newspaper in order to obtain its
temperature steady for long time.
• To accelerate the defrosting process place one or more basins of
warm water in the freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.
• Once the unit has been defrosted, place the food into freezer and
remember to consume them in a short period of time.
