CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
If the appliance will be unused for a long time, leave the door open to prevent unpleasant odours.
To ensure food safety, use and clean the freezer regularly as described below.
Clean the inside of your freezer at least once a year.
Use warm water and baking soda solution about a tablespoon of baking soda to litre/quart of water.
Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry.
Do not use cleaning powders or other abrasive cleaners.
Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents, or
metal scouring pads. These may damage or discolour the freezer.
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface.
Clean the door gasket every three months with the baking soda solution as above. Keep it clean and
brushes to clean. If needed, removable shelves, trays, drawers, and similar accessories can be taken out
and washed in the sink.
Defrosting
The appliance should be defrosted once the thickness of ice on the walls reaches 5–6 mm.
Do not use sharp or powered tools to assist in defrosting, unless they are approved by the manufacturer
or service centre.
To remove ice from the inner walls, use a plastic or wood scraper without sharp edges. Never use a
metal scraper. Follow the below guidance:
Unplug the appliance.
Dry your hands thoroughly to prevent injury from ice. Gloves are recommended.
Transfer all frozen food to a container or cool box. Place ice blocks on top to keep items cold, and
store in a cool, dry area.
Place a tray or towel in front of the drain plug at the front of the product.
Remove the drain plug from the front of the appliance and then remove the drain plug from the
interior of the appliance to allow excess water to drain out.
Gently scrape ice from the interior and place it in the kitchen sink to melt.
Thoroughly clean the inside of the appliance compartment, rinse it with warm water and remove any
spilt food or liquids.
Replace the drain plug (if applicable).
Close the appliance door, replace the plug in the socket and turn the appliance on.
Refill the appliance.
To prevent food from thawing, complete the defrosting process within two hours to avoid
temperature increases that can reduce shelf life.
Energy Saving Tips
Over time, frost or ice may form on the interior walls, increasing energy use. To maintain efficiency,
defrost the freezer regularly.
