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:
Check if:
Temperature of stored
Freezer not
foods
cold enough
(becomes hoter).
Too much frost
Lid does not close
formed
completely
Lot of moisture in the
room
Goods packed poorly
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.
IN THE CASE OF A POWER FAILURE OR BREAKDOWN
The hold-over period mentioned in the "Technical Specification" section of this book refers to an estimated time the freezer temper-
ature will take to rise to an unacceptable level for keeping frozen foods.
Providing the period of power failure or breakdown does not exceed the hold-over period there will be no risk of damage to the
frozen food, providing you do not open the lid during this period.
If the freezer is only half full or the lid is opened this will reduce the hold-over time.
After the breakdown period you are recommended to check the condition of food to ensure it has not started to thaw. Frozen food
must NOT be re-frozen once it has thawed out. The following guidelines should assist you.
Ice cream:
Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables:
If soft should be cooked and used up.
Breads & Cakes:
Can be re-frozen without danger.
Shellfish:
Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.
Cooked Dishes:
ie. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat:
Can be re-frozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them.
Small Joints:
Should be cooked and can then be re-frozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken:
Should also be cooked and re-frozen as a cooked dish.
Possible cause:
Plug not connected correctly
increases
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"
