When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,

disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods

and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to

prevent the build up of unpleasant odours.

Defrosting

The freezer will become progressively covered with

frost. This should be removed with the special plastic

scraper provided whenever the thickness of frost

exceeds ¼.

During this operation it is not necessary to disconnect

the appliance from the electricity supply or remove the

frozen food.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the

inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out

and it is advisable to perform this operation when the

freezer is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting.

1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical

supply. If the plug is inaccessible turn the

thermostat to 0.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of

newspaper and store in a cool place.

3. Leave the door open.

4. Carefully draw the plastic drain spout out of the

lower part of the appliance according to the

direction of the arrow and place a tray of a suitable

size in the position shown.

5. During defrosting, drive the defrost water towards

the edge of the cooling plates using a dry cloth or

a sponge. It will be collected at the bottom of the

appliance, where it is diverted into the tray and

then disposed of.

6. To accelerate the defrosting process place a bowl

of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and

close the door.

7. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior

thoroughly, replace the drain spout and close the

door.

8. Reconnect the appliance to the electricity supply

or turn the thermostat control to a medium setting.

Leave the appliance to run for at least 4 hours in

the fast freeze mode.
