Defrosting the Freezer
The freezer is frost free and as such is designed not to require
defrosting. If you notice ice on the back wall of the fridge then this
could be due to a number of factors including food items touching the
back wall or an ingress of warm air caused by a faulty door seal.
Care and Cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power before any
cleaning or maintenance.
•
Leave spaces between food items wherever possible to allow air to
flow between them.
•
Avoid contact of oily or acidic foods with the rear and side walls.
Oils and acids can damage the liner material. If any such foods
come into contact with the walls, clean the spot with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda.
•
The refrigerator and freezer sections should be cleaned using a
solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
•
Do not use abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse
and dry thoroughly.
•
Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand using soap and
water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
•
Keep the door seals clean to avoid damage to them and to help to
ensure that they continue to function correctly.
•
Once cleaning is complete, then reconnect the power.
•
If the appliance is not used for prolonged periods of time, unplug
and clean it. The doors should be left slightly open to prevent the
formation of mildew or odours.
