Section 4. Maintenance 

 

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the 
appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply. 
 
 
4.1. Internal Cleaning 
 

Clean the interior and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 
0.5 litre of water).  Rinse and dry thoroughly.  Do not use detergents, abrasive 
powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products 
containing bleach or alcohol.  
 

4.2. External Cleaning 
 

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.  Do NOT use abrasive products.  
There may be sharp edges on the underside of the product, so care should be 
taken when cleaning.  Once or twice a year dust the rear of the appliance 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 
increased energy consumption. 
 
 

4.3. When the appliance is not in use  

 
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, remove the contents, disconnect 
from the electricity supply and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar until you 
wish to use the appliance again. 
 

4.4. Changing the Interior Light Bulb 
 

-

 

Switch off the power supply to the appliance 

-

 

Remove the light cover (squeeze/unclip from housing) 

-

 

Unscrew the bulb from the rear of the light unit. 

-

 

Replace the bulb with a suitable replacement (normally 10W but check the 
wattage shown on the bulb). 

-

 

Refit the cover and switch the appliance back on.
