Before any maintenance or cleaning work is
carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from
the ELECTRICITY supply.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm
water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of
water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE
POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING
PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN
THE INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE
SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG SMELL.
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at
regular intervals and make sure that the drain
hole is never obstructed, so that the defrost
water may flow freely.
External cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Do NOT use abrasive products.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black
grill) and the compressor at the back of the
appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see
Fig. 7.
You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched
OFF. An accumulation of dust will affect the
performance of the appliance and cause
excessive electricity consumption.
Changing the light bulb
Should the interior light fail to work, first switch
off the appliance and disconnect from the
electricity supply, then replace the bulb with a
new 12 watt bulb (available from your nearest
Electrolux Service Centre). See fig. 8.
