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. Defrosting
The fridge compartment will automatically defrost itself. The rear inner wall of the
fridge compartment will at times appear wet, but this is part of the defrost process
and is quite normal. However, you will need to defrost the freezer periodically. When
ice build-up in the freezer exceeds 3-5mm, empty the contents and switch off the
appliance, leave the door open and allow the ice to melt. Place the frozen foods
items in a cool-bag or wrap them in thick newspaper. Do not use sharp objects to
scrape the ice away. Clean and dry the interior, close the door and turn on the
power to the appliance. When the power has been restored the appliance will start
to operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set operating temperature.
4.4. 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.
4.5. Changing the Interior Light Bulb
-
Switch off the power supply to the appliance
-
Remove the light cover (squeeze/unclip or unscrew from housing)
