To defrost you should:
• Leave unplugged with the door open for at least 6 hours at room temperature or until
any ice is melted. Do not use a sharp implement to remove ice as this will damage
the internal surface of the fridge
• Dry thoroughly and remove any surplus water before returning to use
• Leave cooling for at least 6 hours or until the temperature display shows the correct
temperature for at least 30 minutes before reloading with temperature sensitive
contents such as vaccines or other pharmaceuticals.
It is essential that you unplug the refrigerator from the mains to prevent electric
shock and transfer the contents where they can be stored and monitored at the correct
temperatures before defrosting
Although your Labcold fridge features automatic o-cycle defrosting, it is recommended that
it is defrosted manually if there is a build up of ice. This can happen for a number of reasons, for
example in times of high humidity, if the door has been opened for a long time, the refrigerator
is overstocked or the ambient temperature is high.

Cleaning
When cleaning you should:
• Remove the shelves and clean with weak soapy water. Do not use strong detergents
or bleach
• Wipe the inside of the fridge in the same solution and dry with a soft cloth. Take care
to avoid the light fitting and ensure that the drain hole at the back of the fridge is
clear of debris
• Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth. Do not use strong detergents or bleach
• Gently remove the dust on the back of the fridge. Take care not to damage the pipes

Caring for your Fridge
Loading
In order to ensure even temperature distribution throughout your refrigerator it is important
that :
• The shelves are evenly spaced and do not restrict air ow round the product.
• The contents are not packed too closely together.
• The contents do not touch the door, wall or the bottom of the fridge and are stored
away from the fan.
As with all refrigerators, your Labcold refrigerator, although designed to provide you with
many years of fault free service, will perform better if it is regularly maintained and calibrated
as per the Green Book, chapter 3 page 28. In addition to the above, attention needs to be
paid to the loading of the fridge to ensure maximum temperature and energy efficiency. The
refrigerator also requires regular cleaning and defrosting.
