DEFROSTING
Defrosting
After a period of time frost will build up in certain areas in the Fridge/Freezer compartment.
After a period of time frost will build up in certain areas in the Fridge/Freezer compartment. As
a temporary measure, this frost should be scraped away using a plastic scraper. NEVER use
a metal or sharp instrument. Complete defrosting will however become necessary
approximately once per year, or if the frost layer exceeds 5mm to maintain the efficiency of the
Fridge/Freezer. This should be carried out if the frost build-up cannot be scraped away, or if it
begins to interfere with the food storage. Chose a time when the stock of frozen food is low
and proceed as follow:
1. Take out the frozen food, turn the Fridge/Freezer off at the mains supply and leave the
doors open. Ideally the frozen food should be put into another Fridge/Freezer or
refrigerator. If this is not possible wrap the food, firstly in several sheets of newspaper or
large towels and then in a thick rug or blanket and keep it in a cool place.
2. Scrape away as much frost build-up as possible using the plastic scraper. To accelerate
the thawing process place bowls of hot water inside the Fridge/Freezer cabinet. As the
solid frost loosens, prize it away with the plastic scraper and remove.
3. When defrosting is completed, clean your Fridge/Freezer as described.
Cleaning inside the Fridge/Freezer
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of
bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry.
Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing
in the Fridge/Freezer. Condensation will form on the back wall of the Fridge; however it will
normally run down the back wall and into the drain hole behind the salad bin.
The drain hole will have a "cleaning spike" inserted into it. This ensures that small pieces off
food cannot enter the drain. After you have cleaned the inside of your Fridge and removed any
food residues from around the whole, use the "cleaning spike" to make sure that there are no
blockages.
Cleaning outside the Fridge/Freezer
Use standard furniture polish to clean the Fridge/Freezer exterior. Make sure that the doors
are closed to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent components
can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Fridge/Freezer
Cleaning tip
Defrost when food stocks are low.
