CAUTION: Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.
Internal Cleaning
• Do not pour water over the appliance.
• The cavity should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water
(5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
• After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully.
• When you have finished cleaning reconnect the plug with dry hands.
External Cleaning
• Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products.
• There are 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.
When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of the
food and clean the inside. Leave the door open to prevent the build-up of odours.
Defrosting
NOTE: Care must be taken when performing the following procedure.
The appliance is frost free, so there shouldn’t be any requirement to defrost the appliance. However, in the
unlikely event the appliance does need defrosting please follow the below steps:
• Two hours before defrosting is due to start, turn the thermostat down to minimum (2 ºC) to ensure the
food is as cold as possible. Remove and store in cool bags with ice blocks or another fridge as necessary.
• Protect the floor and fridge compartments with towels and containers to catch the ice as it melts.
• Switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
• Remove all drawers and shelves and leave the doors open.
• Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters, sharp knives or tools for defrosting.
• When the ice has melted, clean and dry the interior. Wipe up any spillages that may have occurred.
• Replace the mains plug, turn the appliance back on and return the food from storage.
