Defrosting the Your Freezer
• Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer, depending upon the length of time for which
the door is left open or the amount of moisture introduced. It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice
is allowed to form in places where it will affect the close tting of the door seal. This might allow air to
penetrate the cabinet, encouraging continuous running of the compressor. Thin frost formation is quite
soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mecha-
nical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. Remove all dislodged frost from the
cabinet oor. It is not necessary to switch off the appliance for the removal of thin frost.
• For the removal of heavy ice deposits, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and empty the
contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep cold. Defrosting
will be most effective if carried out when the freezer is nearly empty and should be carried out as
quickly as possible to prevent undue increase in temperature of the contents.
• Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process. An increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting will shorten the storage life. If the
contents are well wrapped and placed in a cool area they should keep for several hours.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.
• To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the freezer compart-
ment.
• Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the packages have thawed
out they should be eaten within 24hours, or be cooked and re-frozen.
• After defrosting has nished, clean the inside of the appliance with a solution of warm water with a
little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in the same way and re-
assemble. Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting number
3 before introducing the food back into the freezer.
