Interior
Note: The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
1. Remove all food from the appliance and cover to help keep cool.
2. Remove all the shelves and salad crisper carefully from the appliance and wash in
warm clean water with a soft cloth and dry thoroughly. Never replace the shelves or
salad crisper into the appliance if wet.
3. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two
tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Rinse with water and wipe
clean.
4. For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow sandwiches,
gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft
brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin
sticks) to ensure no contaminant accumulation in these areas.
5. Open the door and allow the interior to dry naturally before replacing the shelves
and salad crisper.
6. Plug in and switch on and allow the temperature in the appliance to drop back to an
adequate temperature.
7. Replace the food in the appliance.
Important: Avoid getting water into the electric components of the appliance i.e. the
thermostat, as this may damage your appliance.
Defrosting
After a period of time frost will build up in the compartments. Regular defrosting will
therefore be necessary to maintain the efficiency of the appliance.
• The best time to defrost your appliance is when the amount of food stored is low.
• To defrost the appliance, please follow the steps below:
• Take out the frozen food and store in a spare freezer, appliance or wrap well and store
in a cool dry place.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains supply, making sure not to pull the cord.
• Leave the door open. To speed up the defrosting process, bowls of warm water can be
placed inside the appliance to raise the temperature.
• Place a shallow bowl or pan below the freezer compartment to catch dripping water.
• Remove the ice with a plastic ice scrapper. DO NOT use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks or screw drivers to remove the ice.
• When all traces of ice have been removed and defrosting is completed, clean away any
water and wipe your appliance dry.
Clean the appliance as described below:
1. Plug in and switch back on
2. Turn the temperature control to the Setting 2.
3. Allow at least 24 hours for the temperature to return to the adequate temperature
4. Put the food back into the appliance.
Important: Do not use any mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the
defrosting process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
