Defrosting The Freezer Compartment - Baumatic BRCF1860-BGL Instruction Manual

o IMPORTANT: Please note that the drain hole cleaner should not be
left in position permanently. Otherwise this may prevent the defrost
water from entering the drain hole.
o You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to
clean the defrost drainage channel.
o You should be careful to make sure that food packages do not touch
the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the automatic
defrosting process and deflect water into the base of your
refrigerator.
o Use a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water to clean
the evaporating tray.
o IMPORTANT: It is normal to get some ice droplets forming on the
back wall of the appliance. The formation of ice droplets does not
indicate an appliance fault.
Defrosting the
The freezer compartment should be manually defrosted around twice a
year or when a layer of ice builds up thicker than 5 mm. If for example
a door has been left open the freezer could quickly develop a build up
of ice.
IMPORTANT: The number of times that you need to defrost it will
depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much food you
freeze and store in the compartment.
o Whilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed from
the compartment and wrapped in several layers of paper and stored
in a cool place. The foods rise in temperature will shorten its
storage life and therefore the food should be used within a
relatively short period of time.
o DO NOT PLACE FOOD BACK IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
THAT HAS STARTED TO THAW.
o Turn the freezer off and disconnect the appliance from your mains
supply.
