DEFROSTING
Before cleaning or repositioning the fridge, you must DISCONNECT
the appliance from the electrical power supply.
DEFROSTING THE UNIT The fridge compartment will become
progressively covered with frost. When 5mm of frost forms in the
freezer, this should be removed with the supplied plastic scraper.
This should be removed periodically with a plastic scraper. However,
when the ice becomes very thick on the interior walls, complete
defrosting should be carried out. Perform this operation when the
appliance is empty and disconnected from the power supply.
NEVER USE SHARP METAL TOOLS TO SCRAPE OR CHIP OFF FROST FROM
THE INTERIOR COMPARTMENT AS THIS COULD DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE
BEYOND REPAIR. DO NOT USE HEAT SOURCES SUCH AS ELECTRIC OR GAS
HEATERS TO COMPLETE THE DEFROST PROCESS.
To perform a complete defrosting:
1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply.
2. Remove any stored food and store in coolers, or wrap in several
layers of newspaper and store in a cool place.
3. Leave the doors open.
5. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a bowl of hot (not
boiling) water inside the fridge and/or freezer compartments and
close the door.
6. Using the provided ice scraper, gently scrape off ice downwards
7. When defrosting is complete, wash and dry the interior
thoroughly.
8. Reconnect the appliance to the electrical supply and leave run-
ning (while empty) for at least 2 hours allowing the interior to cool
sufficiently.
9. Reload the fridge and freezer with the previously removed food.
ATTENTION: Partial thawing of frozen food during defrosting may
shorten its safe storage life-span.
