Freezer

When the frost has reached a thickness of up to

4mm it can be removed using the ice scraper

provided with the appliance. During this operation it

is not necessary to disconnect the appliance from

the mains and remove the food. Never use metal

tools for this operation.
For complete defrosting (once or twice a year)

proceed as follows:
-  turn the thermostat control knob to the ÇOFFÈ

position (O) or disconnect the appliance from the

mains.

-  Remove any food from inside the freezer and

fridge, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and

store in a cool,dry place.

-  Leave the door open and insert the ice scraper

under the channel in the centre of the lower part

of the appliance; place a low-sided container

beneath the scraper to collect the water (see fig.).

-  Clean and dry thoroughly.
-  Replace the scraper in one of the drawers .
-  Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset

the thermostat control knob to a functioning

position.

-  After letting the appliance run for a least half an

hour, replace the previously removed food into

the compartment.

Important 

When defrosting the freezer, the fridge is also

controlled by the thermostat and will not be

operational during this period. A temperature rise of

the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may

shorten their safe storage life.

If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or

installation a charge will be made, even if the appliance is under guarantee.

Before 

contacting your local Service Force Centre, check the following points:

Low ambient operation 

During prolonged periods of low ambient temperatures,ie;10¡C and lower, the compressor on single

compressor fridge freezer can remain inoperative during this time .
This is due to the air temperature within the refrigerator compartment being maintained at 6¡C or under thus not

calling the thermostat to energise the compressor .
