General cleaning
It is recommended to clean and wipe out the fridge
and freezer regularly or after any spillage inside or
outside the appliance.
The freezer is frost-free and requires no defrosting.
If any ice accumulates in the tray at the bottom of
the freezer compartment, use a small quantity of
warm water to melt and remove it.
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.
The fridge automatically defrosts by freezing and
defrosting. Beware of the back wall as this may be
cold to the touch. Avoid wiping this until it has
thoroughly defrosted.
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.
Remove accumulated dirt from around the
compressor motor taking care not to damage the
pipes and the wiring.
Drainage channel and drip tray
Condensation which forms on the back wall of the
fridge passes from the drainage channel to a drip
tray from which it evaporates (see Figure 11). The
drain and drip tray should be cleaned regularly to
avoid the build up of impurities. Wipe the channel
with a damp cloth and use the cleaning tip to clean
out any residue from the drainage hole.
Finally, unclip the drip tray from above the
compressor motor by pulling it firmly in the direction
of the arrow (see Figure 12). Wash it out and clip it
back into position. Place the end of the drain hose
back in the tray to catch drips.
Lamp replacement
To remove the lamp cover, squeeze the sides of the
light diffuser (Figure 13) and pull the diffuser
downwards. Unscrew the lamp and replace it with
one of the same type, (15 Watts SES E14).
Replace the cover by snapping it back into its
housing.
