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 non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the Fridge/Freezer
