Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power before any cleaning or maintenance.
•
The refrigerator section should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
•
Do not use abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.
•
Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand using soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
•
The evaporating tray and water drain hole (at the back of the refrigerator compartment) should be cleaned
periodically to prevent the defrosted water from collecting inside the refrigerator compartment. The drain
plug can be used to clear the drain hole.
•
Once cleaning is complete, reconnect the mains power supply.
•
If the appliance is not used for prolonged periods of time, unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left
slightly open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
Defrosting the freezer
Do not use heaters or defrosting sprays in this appliance.
•
Never use any metallic or sharp objects to remove the ice as this could damage the lining.
•
The freezer compartment should be defrosted regularly to ensure the most efficient running of the freezer.
•
Once the ice is more than 5mm thick, the freezer should be defrosted.
•
First remove the freezer drawers.
•
To speed up the process, place a bowl of warm water in the base of the freezer compartment.
Once defrosting is complete, dry the inside of the freezer compartment with a sponge or clean cloth.
