Maintenance and cleaning
It is recommended to clean and wipe out the fridge
regularly or after any spillage inside or outside the
appliance.
Use a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda diluted in
a pint of warm water. Wipe the internal surfaces
and shelving to remove food residues. Leave to dry
before reloading food.
Beware of the back wall inside the fridge as this
may be cold to the touch.
Wipe the outside casing from time to time in order
to remove dirt and dust from ventilation vents etc.
Keep water away from the thermostat housing.
Clean the door seals.
External cleaning
Keep the condensing tubes free from dust to
maintain optimum efficiency. Use a soft brush or
vacuum cleaner to remove the dust taking care not
to damage the pipes and wiring. Also remove dust
from the compressor motor housing which is
situated at the rear of the appliance casing.
The external casing can be cleaned with warm
soapy water. Do not use scouring powders which
can scratch the surface.
When not in use
If the appliance is to be emptied and turned off for
a long period it is advisable to:
O
Disconnect the unit from the mains supply.
O
Empty the fridge of food.
O
Clean and dry the interior.
O
Leave the door open – do not close.
IMPORTANT
The fridge must be turned off at the mains before maintaining or cleaning.
Defrosting the fridge
The refrigerator is designed for automatic
defrosting. Frost forms on the back wall, then melts
and drains via the outlet pipe in the back wall of
the fridge. It then evaporates into a container
positioned above the compressor motor.
The water collected in the container is evaporated
away by the heat generated by the compressor.
Periodically, using the cleaning tip, remove any
residue that has formed in and around the outlet
pipe (Figure 18).
