7
1. Always disconnect the plug from the power supply
before cleaning.
2.
Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive
substances, soap, household
cleaner, detergent or wax polish for cleaning.
3.
Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the
refrigerator and wipe it dry.
4.
Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one
teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to two litres of water
to clean the interior and wipe it dry with a soft cloth.
5.
Make sure that no water enters the temperature
control box or lamp housing and other electrical items.
6.
If the refrigerator is not going to be used for a long
period of time, switch it off and unplug the power
cable, remove all food, clean it and leave the door
ajar.
7.
Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is
located at the back of the
refrigerator, should be removed once a year with a
vacuum cleaner or dusted using a soft bristle brush.
8.
Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean
and free from food particles.
9. Never:
• Clean the refrigerator with unsuitable material; e.g.
petroleum based products.
• Subject it to high temperatures in any way,
• Scour, rub etc., with abrasive material.
10.
Always ensure that the defrost drain, located
below the back wall evaporator in the refrigerator
section, is clean and free from obstructions.
11.
Shelves and freezer baskets may be removed for
cleaning purposes. Replace baskets in original
positions. To remove a freezer drawer, pull it as far as
possible, tilt it upwards and then pull it out completely.
12.
There is no need to defrost semi no frost models,
the freezer defrosts automatically. For static models
see defrosting.
Warning:
Do not damage the
refrigerant circuit. Do not use electrical
appliances inside the food storage
compartments of the refrigerator, unless
they have been recommended by the
manufacturer.
Protection of plastic surfaces
Do not place liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your
refrigerator in unsealed containers as they may
damage the plastic surfaces. In case of spilling or
smearing oil on the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse
the relevant part of the surface at once with warm
water.
Replacing the light bulb
1. Switch off at the power supply and pull out the plug.
• Shelves may be removed for easy access.
2. Use a flat tipped screwdriver to remove the light
diffuser cover by inserting the blade into the recess to
prise the cover off.
3. First check that the bulb is not loose by ensuring it
is securely screwed into the holder. Refit the plug and
switch on. If the bulb works, replace the light cover by
inserting the rear lug and pushing up to locate the
front two lugs.
4. If the light still fails to work, switch off at the power
supply and pull out the plug. Replace the bulb with a
new 5 watt (max) screw cap LED bulb.
5. Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb.
A replacement light bulb can only be obtained from a
Defy spares outlet.
Ensure the fridge contents do not
touch the back wall of the
refrigerator to prevent them from
freezing.
