Switching on
Plug the appliance into a nearby power socket and
switch on. The temperature control dial (Figure 11)
is positioned on the outside of the freezer, above
the door. Turn the control to the required position
on the dial and leave the appliance running with the
door closed for approximately 4 hours. This will
allow the inside temperature to stabilise.
General 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 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.
Important
The fridge must be turned off at the mains before maintenance or cleaning.
Remove accumulated dirt from around the
compressor motor taking care not to damage the
pipes and the wiring.
Defrosting
It is recommended to regularly defrost the freezer
to ensure efficient operation.
The frost on the internal surfaces must not exceed
6mm before defrosting.
Switch off or unplug the appliance at the wall.
Remove food from the freezer and keep the door
open and wait until the frost has melted.
Do not use metal utensils to remove frost.
When defrosted turn the temperature control to the
desired setting and replace the food.
