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.
CHAPTER .5
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.
