Defrosting
The frost should be occasionally removed using either
a stiff bristle brush or a plastic scraper.
Heavy frosting (about 1/4" thick) will reduce the freez-
er's efficiency and complete defrosting should be car-
ried out at this stage.
It is preferable to defrost the freezer when there is little
or no food in it. The procedure is as follows:
Any remaining frozen food should be placed in news-
paper, wrapped in blankets and stored in a cardboard
box which you should then put in a cool, dry place, or
put the food in another freezer.
Then turn the mains on indicator light switch OFF.
Defrosting can be speeded up by putting bowls of hot
(NOT boiling) water on the shelves of the freezer.
When the ice has melted, remove the water collected
in the base of the freezer.
After defrosting, clean and dry the interior of the freez-
er, plug the appliance in and turn on the mains on indi-
cator light switch and the fast freeze switch.
Replace the frozen food and check that the thermo-
stat is at the correct setting.
* Please note:
If the temperature of the frozen food is allowed to rise
during defrosting, its storage life may be shortened.
Starting
Before the appliance is installed into the recess plug
into the mains and switch on. Check that the mains on
light comes on and the control dial is correctly set.
(See "The controls") .You will hear the compressor
start up.
Normal sound
It is quite normal for refrigerators and freezers to make
a certain amount of noise. The noise level will vary ac-
cording to where the cabinet is positioned.
Noise and vibration can arise if the cabinet is un-
steady or is close up to some other fitment such as a
sink unit or dishwasher.
Refrigeration system. A faint gurgling or bubbling
sound can be heard when the refrigerant is pumped
through the coils of tubing at the rear or cooling sys-
tem.
Compressor. When the refrigerant is pumped round,
a whirring or pulsating noise may be heard from the
compressor.
Thermostat. The compressor is started and stopped
by the thermostat. A click can be heard when the ther-
mostat cuts in and out.
