Storing Food

To get the best results from your appliance, follow these instructions:

• Let hot food cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance will force the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or may even spoil.
• Wrap or cover food where possible. Ensure to wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Appliance storage compartment should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax paper or paper towelling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation thus make the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as possible at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch it off. Then defrost and clean it thoroughly. Let it dry well and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that they are not in contact with or drip onto other food.
• Note: Please store different food according to the compartments or targeted storage temperature of your purchased items.

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

• Always switch off and disconnect the power supply before cleaning.
• Clean the interior of the appliance as often as possible.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. These can leave harmful residues.
• Clean the door seal with warm water only.
• Always wipe dry after cleaning.

Manual defrost

Nisbets Essentials recommend defrosting the appliance when any frost build up inside the freezer reaches 5mm thick.

1. Turn the freezer off and disconnect it from the power supply.
