Maintenance

Frosting
Small amount of frost will accumulate inside the freezer,depending upon the freouency and duration of the lid operation or the amount of moisture inside and relative humidity outside. It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form at places where it will affect the close fitting of the lid,which might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, thus encouraging continuous running of the compressor.

Removing frost
Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or a plastic scraper.

• Do not use metal orsharp scrapers which may lead to removal of paint from the surface of the cabinet. Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor. For the removal of light frosting, it is not necessary to switch off the freezer.
• For removing heavy ice deposits, the freezer should be completely disconnected from thepower supply and emptied. The contents should be placed in a cardboard box and wrapped in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep them cold.

Cleaning
Clean the inside with warm water mixedwith a little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in the same way and reassemble. Do not forget to insert the drain plug. Clean the condenser with blower every fortnight.

1. There is a water conduit at the bottom of the appliance. While defrosting, pull out the plastic cover. The defrosted water will drip into the hole and Row out. (Note: Please keep the plastic cover safe during the defrosting and put it back after defrosting is done.)
2. Pull out the water conduit by 20-25mm until the water hole can be seen.
3. Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
