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,
GB
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�
NOISE FROM YOUR APPLIANCE
• You may notice some rather unusual noises� The noises are
caused by circulation of refrigerant in the cooling system�
It has become more pronounced since the introduction of
CFC free gases� This is not a fault and will not affect the
performance of your fridge�
PROLONGED OFF PERIODS
If the appliance is not in use for a long period of time, proceed as
follows:
1� Disconnect from the mains supply�
2� Clean and dry the inside (see 'Cleaning and maintenance')�
3� Leave the door open to prevent any unpleasant smells from
building up while the appliance is not in use�
