Freezer compartment defrosting
Frost will accumulate inside the freezer compartment 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 compartment is empty, and it should be carried out
as quickly as possible.
Any 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 can be kept outside the
appliance for several hours.
Before replacing the food in the freezer compartment, check that it has not 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 the temperature setting 7
before introducing the food back into the freezer compartment and setting the temperature to your
normal setting.
DOOR CONVERSION
If you need to hinge your doors on the opposite sides it is recommended that you call your local
authorised service agent to make this conversion or ask a technician.
Before you reverse the doors, you should ensure the appliance is unplugged and empty. It is
recommended to use a crosshead screwdriver and a spanner (both not supplied).
1. Remove the four screws on the top cover and
then remove the top cover.
2. Remove the three screws and then remove
the top hinge that holds the door in place. Lift
the door and place it on a padded surface to
prevent it from being scratched.
