The formation of frost on the inside of freezers cannot be avoided. Frost is formed when moisture contained in the air comes into
contact with the cold surfaces of the freezer. Consequently, the lid should only be opened when necessary, and it should never be
left open. A thin layer of ice or frost does not affect the function of the freezer adversely, and can be removed carefully.
IMPORTANT! Never use a knife or any other sharp implement to remove frost.
When the frost or ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer should be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your freezer when there
is little or no food inside. Switch off the current. Remove the contents of the freezer, wrap them in newspapers, and leave them in a
cold place. The speed of defrosting can be increased by placing one or more bowls of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and
closing the lid. Open the lid after a while, and remove the layer of ice carefully. Do not try to speed up defrosting by using anything
other than hot water, since this may damage the freezer. After defrosting, clean the inside of the freezer.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR FREEZER INSIDE
Remove the plug from the mains socket, and remove all loose accessories before cleaning the freezer. The best time to clean your
freezer is after defrosting and before the electricity supply is connected again. Use a damp cloth to clean your freezer. Use hot water,
and a mild, non-aromatic cleaning agent. After cleaning the freezer, clean the basket/baskets before replacing them.
IMPORTANT! Never use strong cleaning agents, scouring powder or strongly aromatic cleaning agents to clean your
freezer inside, since this will damage the inside and leave a strong smell.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. Remove all goods from the freezer. Clean the freezer as described above.
Leave the lid slightly open.
IF YOUR FREEZER DOES NOT FUNCTION SATISFACTORILY
Check the following before calling for service staff:
Defect:
Freezer not
cold enough
Too much frost
formed
Check if:
Temperature of stored
foods increases
(becomes hoter).
Lid does not close
completely
Lot of moisture in the
room
Goods packed poorly
Possible cause:
Plug not connected correctly
Defect in switch or fuse
Power failure
Lid in contact with goods in free-
zer
Moisture from washing machine,
tumble-dryer, etc.
Lot of moisture from goods
Action:
Check plug and socket
Check fuse, call electrician
Wait until current returns
Re-arrange goods, check that lid closes
correctly
Move freezer to a room with less moistu-
re, or air regularly
Re-pack goods, see under “How to use”
If you are still unable to solve the problem, summon the assistance of authorised service staff. Do not take any other steps. Incorrect
procedure may cause personal injury or lead to additional defects. It is quite normal for the freezer to seem warm on the outside
occasionally, owing to the heat generated by the freezing process. This heat also helps to prevent the formation of moisture on the
outside of the appliance which could cause rust. If the freezer has been switched off briefly, the compressor may not start immedi-
ately when the current is re-connected. This is quite normal.
