FREEZER DEFROSTING

Frost will accumulate inside the freezer
depending upon the length of time during 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 at places where it will affect the
close fitting of the door seal.
This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet,
thus 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.
For the removal of thin frost it is not necessary
to switch off the appliance.
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 them
cold. Defrosting will be most effective if carried

out when the freezer is empty, and it should be
carried out as quickly as possible.
An increase in temperature of frozen food
packages during defrosting will shorten
the storage life. Provided that the contents
are well wrapped and placed in a cool area,
they should keep for several hours.
Examine the contents when replacing them in
the freezer and if some of the packages have
thawed out.
After defrosting is finished clean the inside 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 7 before
introducing the food back into the freezer and
setting the thermostat to your normal setting.
