KRAFT BD(W)-100BL [30/60] Defrosting and cleaning

CHEST FREEZER

USER GUIDE

FEATURES OF THE WORK

Do not move or tilt the chest freezer during operation. Noise may occur in the

compressor. This feature does not affect the performance of the compressor.

The refrigerant circulating inside the cooling system may gurgle softly even when the

compressor is not running. During the operation of the chest freezer, you can also hear:

the rustle of the fan impellers; the clicks of the temperature sensor-relay; the buzzing of

the air damper drive; the murmur of the refrigerant circulating through the pipes of the

refrigeration system; light crackling during temperature deformations of materials. Don’t

worry, these sounds are not associated with any defect and are of a functional nature.

DEFROSTING AND CLEANING

During operation, frost forms on the inner walls of the chest freezer. Therefore, it is

recommended to carry out full defrosting 2-3 times a year or when the thickness of the

frost layer is more than 5 mm.

* If you plan to go somewhere for an extended period, disconnect the appliance from

the power supply, remove the food, defrost and wash it well from the inside. Leave the

door open to prevent the appearance of an unpleasant smell.

ATTENTION! Before defrosting and washing the chest freezer, make sure that it

is disconnected from the power supply and that the power cord plug is unplugged.

Choose a time when the stock of frozen food will be small, and proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the chest freezer from the power supply.

2. Remove the food from the chest freezer and transfer it to another freezer or

refrigerator. If this is not possible, wrap the food first in a few sheets of paper or

towels, and then in a thick blanket and put it in a cool place.

3. Remove all baskets from chest freezer and leave the door open. Open the drain plug

located at the bottom of the chest and install a container to collect the defrost water.

4. Clean as much frost as possible from the inner walls of the freezer using a plastic

scraper. Do not use metal or sharp objects to break the ice!

5. To speed up the thawing process, place a bowl of hot water

in the chest freezer. As the ice melts, remove it with a plastic

scraper. Collect the remaining meltwater with a dry cloth.

6. After defrosting is complete, wash and wipe the chest freezer dry with soft cloth

cloths.

ATTENTION! Do not use:

– electric heating devices to accelerate the thawing process;

– metal scrapers and sharp objects to remove ice and frost;

– chlorine-containing agents and acids when cleaning the freezer.
