CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Disconnect from the electricity supply before cleaning.
Interior
• Remove all food from the appliance and cover to help keep cool.
• Remove all the shelves and salad crisper carefully from the appliance and wash in lukewarm water
with a soft cloth and dry thoroughly. Never replace the shelves or salad crisper into the appliance
if wet.
• Wipe the interior of the appliance with a damp clean cloth.
• Dry the interior thoroughly with a clean cloth and replace shelves and salad crisper.
• Plug in and switch on and allow the temperature in the appliance to drop back to an adequate
temperature.
• Replace the food in the appliance.
Important: Avoid getting water into the electric components of the appliance i.e. the thermostat, as
this may damage your appliance.
Exterior
• Use a clean, damp soft cloth to wipe the exterior surface of the appliance and dry thoroughly.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from underneath the appliance and from around the
compressor which is situated at the back of the appliance, regularly to maintain adequate
ventilation. Use caution not to damage the coolant system.
Important: Do not use abrasive cloths, powders, household cleaners, bleach or wax polish to clean the
appliance as these can leave a smell in the appliance and can damage the exterior.
Door Seal
Use a clean, damp soft cloth to wipe the door seal and in between the creases, avoid damaging the door
seal as this will affect the performance of your appliance.
Drainage Channel
• The drainage channel must be cleaned regularly to prevent a build-up of impurities; this can
be found on the interior back wall of your appliance.
• Use a damp clean cloth and wipe the channel clean, then use a pipe cleaner or similar flexible
object to clean the drainage hole to prevent blockages.
Going away
If you are going away and do not want to leave the appliance left on, switch off at the mains socket and
remove the plug ensuring not to pull the cord. Remove any food and follow the cleaning instructions in
the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section.
Important: Leave the door ajar as this will prevent odours and mould accumulating in the appliance
and will allow the appliance to dry completely.
Power Cut
In the event of a power cut keep the appliance door closed to maintain the temperature inside.
