Once in use, it is best to use the appliance continuously. Under normal circumstances it is best not to interrupt its
use in order not to affect the lifetime of the appliance.
DEFROSTING & CLEANING
When the appliance has been in use for a while, a thin layer of ice is formed on the surface of the inner wall of the
freezer. If this layer is more than 3 mm thick, it may affect the cooling effect. Energy consumption increases by about
10 per cent for every 2 millilitres of ice. The ice layer should be removed about every 3 months.
Go through the following steps to remove the ice layer:
•
Remove the frozen food from the appliance. Temporarily place the food in a cool box, cooler bag or extra
freezer.
•
Switch off the appliance, Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the freezer door open.
•
When the solid ice crust softens, remove the ice crust. Do not use scrapers or spatulas, this may damage the
appliance.
•
Remove the drain plug on the inside of the chest freezer.
•
To drain, place a container under the outer drain plug. Pull out the drain plug and turn it 180 degrees. This will
cause the water to flow out of the receptacle. When you are done, push the drain plug back in. Also insert the
drain plug back inside the freezer compartment.
ATTENTION!
•
Keep an eye on the tray under the drain to avoid overflowing.
•
After defrosting, clean the inside of the appliance and turn the appliance on.
•
Let the appliance run on 'Super' setting for at least 4 hours before placing products back in the freezer. After 24
hours, return the temperature control to the setting between 'Normal' and 'Max'.
