Defrosting & Cleaning

This is a manual defrost freezer. Frost buildup of more than 5 mm reduces efficiency.

1. Defrosting:
   • Turn thermostat to "0" or unplug the freezer.
   • Remove all food, wrap in newspapers, and store in a cool place.
   • Place towels and a shallow pan inside to collect water.
   • Leave door open to speed melting. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice.
   • Wipe interior dry. Plug in and reset thermostat.
2. Cleaning:
   • Unplug before cleaning.
   • Use a soft cloth dampened with warm water and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
   • Clean door gasket with water only.
   • Dry all surfaces thoroughly before plugging back in.

CAUTION! Never use steam cleaners, sharp tools, or electrical heaters to defrost.

Energy Saving Tips

• Ensure the freezer is placed away from heat sources (oven, radiator, direct sunlight).
• Allow hot food to cool completely before freezing.
• Defrost regularly (when frost exceeds 5 mm).
• Check door seals are clean and tight.
• Do not leave the door open longer than necessary.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance.
