Defrosting and cleaning
For the appliance to operate well and to
save energy, it is important that it is cleaned
and defrosted regularly.
When opening the appliance, moisture en-
ters and settles on inner cold surfaces and
forms a layer of frost or ice.
The layer of ice makes the freezer less ef-
ficient and must be removed , "defrosted".
It is recommended that the appliance be
defrosted every third month.
Defrosting
The water-packs stored and the humidity
of the air gradually causes frost and ice
to form in the freezer compartment. A thin
layer of frost or ice does not affect freezer
performance, but a thick layer could cause
the freezer not to cool water-packs satisfac-
tory. Small amounts of loose frost can be
removed using a plastic scraper.
Never use electrical apparatus or sharp im-
plements as these may damage the inside
of the appliance.
When the layer of frost and ice exceeds
4-5 mm the freezer should be completely
defrosted.
Proceed as follows:
1. Before defrosting, vaccines and/or
water-packs must be moved to another
working freezer or cold box with ice-
packs.
2. Switch off the appliance.
3. Open the drainage plug placed inside the
freezer compartment.
4. Place a tray under the defrost water
drain.
5. Place a bowl of hot (but not boiling) water
in the freezer, close the lid and wait
approx. 30 minutes before removing
loose frost with the plastic scraper.
6. To prevent water from damaging the
floor during defrosting, it is advisable to
check the defrost water tray from time
to time and to cover the floor around the
defrost water drain to protect against ice
and splashes. When all the frost and ice
have melted, clean the inside cabinet,
as well lid, lid gasket, and outside of the
cabinet using water with a mild, perfume-
free detergent.
7. Dry the freezer with
a soft cloth, and make sure no moisture
is remaining after cleaning.
8. Reinsert the internal drainage plug, and
check lid gasket is not faulty.
9. Switch on the appliance, and make sure
it is freezing (Temperatures decreasing)
10. Check water-packs are not leaking
before returning them to the freezer
compartment. Store water-packs and
vaccines according instructions, approx.
5 minutes after having switched it on.
Close the lid.
Cleaning
1. Once the appliance is defrosted it must
be cleaned.
2. Clean the inside of the appliance with a
mixture of lukewarm water and a mild
detergent.
3. Allow the cleaned parts to dry completely.
4.Clean the outside of the appliance with
a mixture of lukewarm water and a mild
detergent or soap.
5.Close the lid and follow the procedures in
" Cool down of the appliance" page 8
