Cleaning
Clean the cabinet at regular intervals.
Don't use detergents, abrasive powders,
high perfumed cleaning products, wax
polishes or cleaning products
containing bleach or alcohol when
cleaning the product
Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Clean out the drip channel inside the fridge at
regular intervals and ensure that the drip channel is
clear at all times. If blocked carefully clear using a
piece of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain
outlet to remove the blockage.
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Remove the ventilation grille (see the section
"Removing the ventilation grille") and vacuum-clean
under the cabinet. 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 moving the cabinet, lift it by
the front edge to avoid scratching the
floor.
Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is defrosted automatically every time the
compressor stops. Frost formation can be prevented
by:
·
not putting warm foodstuff inside the cabinet.
·
avoiding frequently opening the door or keeping
it open too long.
·
do not place foodstuffs directly against the cold
cooling plate.
To change the light bulb
The light is switched on automatically when the
door is opened. Before replacing the light bulb,
disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
Press the spring together and pull the grille
downward at the same time.
Use a bulb of the same type, E14 socket, maximum
rating of 15 W.
When the appliance is not in use
Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the
doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to
check it once in a while to prevent the food inside
from spoiling in case of a power failure.
