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 ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe the Fridge Freezer dry before
replacing the baskets and shelves.
Wash the baskets and shelves in warm soapy wtaer. Ensure they are
completely dry before relacing in the fridge Freezer.
Cleaning the outside of 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.
Cleaning tip
- Defrost and clean when stocks are low.
Collecting the defrost water from the Freezer
1. Remove the bottom drawer in the freezer compartment.
2. Place dish under the edge of the Freezer cabinet to collect the water
Defrosting
After a period of time frost will build
up in certain areas in the freezer
compartment. As a tempory
measure, this frost should be scraped
away using a plastic scaper.
NEVER use a metal or sharp
instrument. Remove existing foods and baskets, ideally the frozen food
should be put into another freezer. Scrape off and remove the frost,
then move your food back in order to gain access to other sections
of the freezer. Complete defrosting will however, become necessary,
approximately four times 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. Choose a time when the
stock of frozen food is low and proceed as follows.
SCRAPER NOT INCLUDED
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 freezer or refrigerator. If this is not possible wrap the
food, firstly in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then
a thick rug or blanket and keep it in a cool place.
2. Place a tray under the lip of the freezer cabinet to collect the water.
3. If you have one, scrape away as much frost build up as possible,
using a plastic scraper.
4. Thawing of the remaining frost can be sped up by placing a bowl of
hot water inside the freezer compartment. As the solid frost loosens,
prize it away with the ice scraper.
NOTE: Don’t use a metal or sharp instrument and do not use any
electrical appliances.
