1. Take out the frozen food, turn the freezer off at the mains supply and leave the lid open.
Ideally the food should be put into another freezer or refrigerator. If this is not possible,
wrap it in a compact block, first in several sheets of newspaper or large turkish towels,
and then in a thick rug or blanket and keep it in a cool place.
2. Scrape away as much frost as possible, thawing of the remainder can be accelerated by
placing bowls of hot water inside the cabinet. As the solid frost loosens, prise it
away with wooden or plastic scraper.
Excess water can be drained off into a receptable placed under the drain plug located on
the front of the cabinet (the seperation can be used as shown in figs. 4-5).
3. Ensure that the drain plug is not fully withdrawn and that the pointer on the plug is turned
downwards.
When defrosting is completed, wipe over the interior of the cabinet with bicarbonate of
soda and water and dry thoroughly as described under »Before you use the freezer«.
4. When the cabinet is completely dry and clean close the lid, switch on both mains supply
and fast freeze switch. Proceed as for instructions on »Operation of the freezer«.
The plastic scraper is placed in the lid lamp cover. It is removed by pushing in the direction
of the arrow ▲ (up).
WARNING - Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or in the structure for
buinding in, clear of obstruction.
WARNING - Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than recommended by the manufacturer
WARNING - Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
WARNING - Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage of the appliance,
unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
Warning
Keys for the freezer must be kept out of reach of children. Always disconnect the
power at the power point before replacing the light bulb in the lid.
When replacing the light bulb in the lid, first remove the lamp cover by pushing in the
direc
tion of the arrow ▲ (up). You may have to loosen it along the sides first using e.g. a
screwdriver.
WARNING
Always make sure that the plug has been taken out of its socket before removing the grid
in front of the compressor compartment. If the freezer is altered in any way, e.g. changing
the mains wire, or tampered with by unauthorised personnel, the manufacturer disclaims
all responsibility for any damage caused to property and persons. Therefore, in the inte-
rest of everyone’s safety, ALWAYS use authorised staff for all forms of service or alterati-
ons to your freezer.
Scrapping
It is the owner of the freezer who is responsible for a secure scrapping of the cabinet
according to present legislation.
When scrapping the cabinet the lid must be dismounted and the keys to the lock must be
scrapped elsewhere than the appliance. In order to protect the environment the refrigerant
and the compressor oil must be drained by a refrigerant engineer, or the appliance must
be delivered to an authorized centre for receiving refrigeration equipment for re-cycling of
refrigerant.
