Defrosting
The Fridge Compartment is defrosted
automatically. Defrost water from the
cooling plate runs out of the drain and
onto a tray on the motor compressor where
it is evaporated. This process is completely
automatic. Droplets of water on the cooling
plate during defrosting are quite normal
and will freeze on the plate afterwards.
In the Freezer Compartment frost
accumulates on the refrigerated shelves
during normal working and should
occasionally be removed using a stiff bristle
brush or plastic scraper.
Heavy frosting (about VC thick) will reduce
the freezer's efficiency and therefore
complete defrosting should then be carried
out, probably at six month intervals
depending on usage.
Preferably you should do this when there
is little or no food in the freezer in the
following manner.
1. Any remaining frozen food should be
placed in another freezer, or placed in
cardboard boxes and wrapped in blankets,
or layers of paper. Put in a cool place.
2. Switch off at the wall socket and remove
the plug.
3. Place the handle of the plastic scraper
supplied, in the recess at the bottom of the
freezer compartment to act as a drainage
spout. Put a suitable container under the
spout to collect the defrost water, and
leave the door open, (see fig. 3).
4. Defrosting can be speeded up by putting
bowls of hot (not boiling) water in the
freezer and loosening the frost with a stiff
bristle brush.

5. After defrosting, clean and dry the
interior as explained under "Cleaning" and
remove the plastic scraper. Switch on,
replace any frozen food and close the door.
Important: Ensure the scraper is kept in a
safe place at all times for future defrosting.
REMEMBER, if the temperature of frozen
food is allowed to rise unduly during
defrosting its storage life may be
shortened.
Cleaning
The most suitable time to clean your freezer/
fridge is after defrosting the freezer and
remember to first switch off and pull out
the plug.
Both compartments and all the fittings
should be thoroughly cleaned with a clean
cloth wrung out in a solution of one
teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda in each
pint of water.
Never use detergents, abrasives powders,
highly perfumed cleaning materials or
wax polishes to clean the interior as
these will damage the surfaces and
leave a strong smell.
