Defrosting
Frost might build up in the freezer compartment after the fridge has been used for a period of time. Scrape
away the frost using a plastic scraper.
Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrap away the frost, nor should you use any
electrical appliances to aid defrosting.
We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 3cm (~1.18").
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures:
1. Take out the chilled food, turn the fridge freezer off at the mains supply and leave the door open.
Ideally, the frozen food should be put into another freezer compartment or refrigerator. If this is not
possible, wrap the food in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then a thick rug or blanket
to keep it cool.
2. Place a shallow bowl or pan below the freezer compartment. Scrap
away the frost using the plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost
can be speeded up by placing a bowl of hot water inside the freezer
compartment cabinet and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens,
scrap it away with the plastic scraper and remove.
3. When defrosting is complete, clean your fridge freezer’s interior and exterior.
Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Fridge Freezer
• Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with
warm water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and
drawers.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the fridge freezer exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish.
Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the
fridge freezer.
• The grille of the condenser at the back of the fridge freezer and the adjacent components can be
vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Cleaning Tips
• Condensation may appear on the outside of the fridge freezer. This maybe due to a change in room
temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified
technician for assistance.
