Power Failure
A brief power failure will not affect your frozen food, although it is advisable to keep the lid
closed to prevent a rise in temperature.
In the event of the power failure lasting longer than 12 hours, the frozen food should be
checked before the power is reconnected to make sure it has not defrosted.
Interior Light does not come on
(Not fitted to all models)
The bulb has burnt out. To change the bulb, disconnect the freezer from the electricity
supply, remove the lamp cover and replace the bulb (15W, 220-240V, E 14 base).
Replace the cover, plug in and switch on.
Cleaning
Disconnect the freezer from the power supply. Clean both the inside and the outside of your
freezer. Use lukewarm water containing a little bicarbonate of soda (1 teaspoon to 1.2 litres of
water).
Never use any household cleaner or detergent, abrasive powders or wax polish. These not only
damage the surfaces but also leave a smell within the freezer.
Dry thoroughly, reconnect to the power supply and switch “ON”. Make sure all switches are set
correctly.
If the freezer is to be left unused for long periods, switch off and disconnect from the power
supply. Remove all foods and follow the defrosting instructions.
NOTE: Leave the lid open to prevent the accumulation of odours.
