6. CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
Defrosting your freezer
▪
When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost
the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or 5 to 10 mm thick.
▪
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
CAUTION: Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition,
never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils
and will void the warranty. We recommend using the plastic scraper provided with your unit.
▪
Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
▪ Turn the thermostat knob to "OFF".
▪
Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light should be off (green light out).
▪
During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
▪
Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out.
▪
Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.
▪
Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.
▪
Clean the interior of the freezer.
▪
Replace the plug on the inside floor.
▪
Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
▪
Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.
▪
Return food to the freezer.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the process.
Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed melting. If you must
use a scraper- please use caution - it is very easy to damage the freezer compartment and
void your warranty.
Cleaning inside the Fridge/Freezer
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of
bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry.
Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing
in the Fridge/Freezer. Condensation will form on the back wall of the Fridge; however, it will
normally run down the back wall and into the drain hole behind the salad bin.
Cleaning outside the Fridge/Freezer
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the Fridge/Freezer
exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent components
can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Fridge/Freezer
