clear of any blockage. DO NOT use sharp metal tools which could cause 
damage beyond repair.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive powder, household cleaner, bleach or wax polish

keep cool whilst cleaning.

either one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water or Milton™ 
sterilising fluid, diluted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Dry the interior thoroughly with a clean cloth before replacing fittings and 
food.
Note : It is important to ensure that cleaned shelves, racks and bins are 
thoroughly dried before refitting to the fridge compartment.
