DEFROSTING

Before cleaning or repositioning the freezer, you must DISCONNECT

the appliance from the electrical power supply.

DEFROSTING THE UNIT As solar freezers do not have automatic

defrost the freezer compartment could become progressively cov-

ered with frost. When 5mm of frost forms in the freezer, this should

be removed with the supplied 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 lid open.

4. Remove the plug from the defrost water drain located in the bot-

tom interior of the cabinet.

5. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a bowl of hot (not boil-

ing) water inside the freezer compartments and close the lid.

6. Using the provided ice scraper, gently scrape o ice downwards

7. When defrosting is complete, wash and dry the interior

thoroughly.

8. Reconnect the appliance to the electrical supply and leave running

(while empty) for at least 2 hours allowing the interior to cool suf-

ﬁciently.

9. Reload the freezer with the previously removed food.

ATTENTION: Partial thawing of frozen food during defrosting may

shorten its safe storage life-span.
