Defrosting
Frost may accumulate on the inner rear surface of the
appliance which will automatically defrost during the off
cycle of the compressor.
Water is channelled via the drain hole to the collection tray
above the compressor where it will evaporate.
Please ensure the drain hole is checked and cleaned on a
regular basis so water can exit the storage compartment.
Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit
•
Remove all the shelves and the salad bin. To remove the salad bin first remove the lower
door shelf.
•
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with
warm water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the
shelves and salad bin.
•
Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make
sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside
the unit.
•
The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be
vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit
•
Cooked meat/fish should always be stored on a shelf above raw meat/fish to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meat/fish in a container which is large enough to collect
juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
•
Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the
unit are kept cool.
•
To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
•
Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain
the internal temperature of the unit.
•
To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the
door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take
food out.
