Maintenance and Service of your ES Series Freezer
Defrosting
All laboratory freezers require manual. In certain conditions (e.g. when the freezer is very full or
when any new items are stored in the freezer) frost may form on the rear wall as the compressor
must run for long periods of time.
Before manually defrosting the cabinet, make sure the power lead is disconnected from the
mains. Any loose frost found on the evaporator can be removed carefully using a wooden or
plastic scrapper.
WARNING
: Do not use any knives or sharp metallic objects to remove frost.
Alternatively a non-scheduled defrost can sometimes be carried out as follows:
