enance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning is
carried out you must DISCONNECT the
appliance from the electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5 ml 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 odour.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance with
a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust
will affect the performance of the appliance and cause
excessive electricity consumption.
When the Appliance is not in Use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods
and clean the appliance, leaving the door open to
prevent unpleasant smells.
Defrosting
Refrigerator
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops.
Important
To avoid defrost water owerflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the
centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of the
refrigerator compartement behind the salad crispers.
Use the defrost cleaner provided which you will find
already inserted into the discharge hole.
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy
water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before
replacing.
