CLEANING AND
CARE
We recommend that you switch off the appliance at
the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before
cleaning
Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive substan-
ces, soap, household cleaner, detergent or wax polish
for cleaning
Use lukewarm water to clean the compartment of the
appliance and wipe it dry.
Clean the interior using a damp cloth with a solution of
bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water. Wring it out,
clean the interior and wipe it dry.
Remove excessive ice formation regularly using a plastic
scraper available in hardware stores. A large amount of
accumulated ice will cause the freezer to operate less
efficiently.
If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period
of time, switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave
the door ajar
Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and
free from food particles.
Never wash the compressor with water – just wipe it
thoroughly with a dry cloth after cleaning the freezer to
prevent the formation of rust
