The formation of frost on the inside of freezers cannot be

avoided. Frost is formed when moisture contained in the air

comes into contact with the cold surfaces of the freezer.
Consequently, the lid should only be opened when

necessary, and it should never be left open.
A thin layer of ice or frost does not affect the function of the

freezer adversely, and can be removed carefully using the

scraper provided.

When the frost or ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer

should be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your

freezer when there is little or no food inside.
Switch off the current. Remove the contents of the freezer,

wrap them in newspapers, and leave them in a cold place.
The speed of defrosting can be increased by placing one or

more bowls of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and

closing the lid. Open the lid after a while, and remove the

layer of ice carefully.
The defrost water can be collected in the partition wall as

shown in the drawing.

Do not try to speed up defrosting by using anything other

than hot water, since this may damage the freezer. After

defrosting, clean the inside of the freezer.

Remove the plug from the mains socket, and remove all

loose accessories before cleaning the freezer.
The best time to clean your freezer is after defrosting and

before the electricity supply is connected again.
Use a damp cloth to clean your freezer. Use hot water,

and a mild, non-aromatic cleaning agent.
After cleaning the freezer, clean the basket/baskets

before replacing them.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT

Never use a knife or any other sharp implement to

remove frost.

IMPORTANT

Never use strong cleaning agents, scouring

powder or strongly aromatic cleaning agents to

clean your freezer inside, since this will damage

the inside and leave a strong smell.

IMPORTANT

Remember to replace the plug in the drip water

drain.
