Cleaning inside the Freezer
After defrosting you should clean the Freezer internally with a weak
solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a
‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe the Freezer dry before replacing the
baskets and shelves.
Cleaning the outside of the Freezer
Use standard furniture polish to clean the Freezer exterior. Make sure that
the doors are closed, to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal
or inside.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Freezer and the adjacent
components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
