In the event of a power failure
If there is a power failure during the storage of
frozen food, keep the door closed. If the
temperature within your freezer should rise, do
not refreeze the food without checking its
condition.
The following guidelines should assist you:
• Ice cream: Once thawed should be discarded.
• Fruit and vegetables: If soft should be cooked
and used up.
• Bread and cakes: Can be refrozen without
danger.
• Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up
quickly.
• Cooked dishes: i.e. casseroles, should be
refrigerated and used up.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is
carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from
the ELECTRICITY supply.

Internal cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm
water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre
of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use
detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed
cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning
products containing bleach or alcohol.

External cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Do NOT use abrasive products. There are sharp
edges on the underside of the product, so care
should be taken when cleaning. Once or twice
a year dust the compressor at the back of the
appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an
accumulation of dust will affect the performance
of the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.

• Large pieces of meat: Can be re-frozen
providing there are ice crystals remaining
within them.
• Small joints: Should be cooked and then
re-frozen as cooked dishes.
• Chicken: Should be cooked and re-frozen as
a fresh dish
To Defrost the Freezer
1. Wrap any food in layers of newspaper or
blankets.
2. Switch the appliance off at the wall socket
and remove the plug.
3. Open the freezer door.
4. Place a suitable container to collect the
defrosting water.
5. After defrosting, clean and dry the interior.
6. Switch the appliance on and replace any
frozen food.
Defrosting can be speeded up by putting bowls
of hot (not boiling) water in the freezer and
loosening the frost with a suitable plastic scraper.
If the temperature of frozen food is allowed to
rise during defrosting, its storage life may be
shortened.
When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, disconnect from the electricity supply,
empty all of the food and clean the appliance,
leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant
smells.
