• Keep the cover open or remove the sliding covers and place
them carefully on the floor.
• Remove the ice layer using plastic or wooden implements
(never use metal implements).
• The de-icing process can also be speeded up by using bowls
of hot water.
• Never use pointed or sharp implements.
• After de-icing, clean the cabinet as described under Section
6. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
6 Maintenance
Please note the following in connection with cleaning of the
freezer:
• Place the products from the freezer in a cold place or wrap
them in insulating material.
• The cabinet should be switched off at the socket.
• Keep the cover open or remove the sliding covers and place
them carefully on the floor.
The freezer can be cleaned with luke warm water and mild
detergent. It should then be washed with clean water.
Never use detergents which contain chlorine.
Never use pointed or sharp implements.
Clean the cover in the same way as the cabinet. If the freezer is
fitted with a condenser and associated fan at the bottom rear of
cabinet, dirt and dust can collect on the cooling element. If
cleaning is necessary, the power should be switched off, the cover
removed and the cooling element vacuum-cleaned with a soft
brush.
Remove the cover as follows. Remove all screws holding the
cover in place and put to one side. Carefully draw the cover out as
far as possible (taking care not to damage the thermostat’s sensor
cable). It will now be possible to access the cooling element with
the vacuum cleaner brush.
Be aware that the cooling element consists of sharp
components and may be hot to touch.
After cleaning, refit the cover and insert and tighten all screws.
7 Troubleshooting
If you experience any problems with your freezer, please check
the following before seeking assistance:
• Is the plug inserted?
• Is the socket switched on?
• Is the fuse in the meter cabinet intact?
• Has any fault current relay been disconnected?
• Has there been a complete power failure?
If the cabinet is very hot or air circulation is poor, you should
provide the necessary circulation.
If the condenser is dirty, it should be vacuum-cleaned.
If you have checked the above and the freezer is still not working,
call a service engineer.
State the type of fault and appliance, serial number and item no.
(shown on the manufacturer’s plate on the back of the cabinet).
