Cleaning the bar fridge
• Turn the temperature control to the minimum position, unplug the bar fridge and
remove the food, shelves and tray.
• Wash the inside surfaces and the interior accessories with a damp, warm cloth
moistened in a water and baking soda solution (about 2 tablespoons of baking soda
to 1 litre of water). Wring excess water out of the cloth before cleaning around the
temperature control or any electrical parts. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Clean the outside of the unit with a damp, well wrung out cloth. Keep the door
gasket (seal) clean.
• After everything is dry, place appliance back into service.
Other Useful Information
Defrosting the bar fridge
• For efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the bar fridge
when the frost on the chiller compartment walls is building up; do not let frost build
up to more than 3–4mm thickness.
• Turn the temperature control to the minimum position, unplug the appliance and
remove frozen or perishable food items from the chiller compartment. Keep frozen
food temporarily in another fridge or freezer to keep defrosting to a minimum.
• During the defrost cycle, the ice melts into the drip tray. To remove the water, either
take out the drip tray and/or place a collection container under the tray, or use a
sponge or towel to wipe the melting ice off the fridge floor.
• Defrosting usually takes a few hours. After defrosting, wipe the drip tray and chiller
compartment dry. Place the drip tray back under the chiller compartment and return
the thermostat dial to the desired position.
• To defrost quickly, remove all foods from the fridge and leave the door open. Place
an old towel underneath the appliance to collect any spillage.
WARNING!
• Never use sharp or metallic tools to scrape off frost as it may damage the cooling
system. To scrape ice off surfaces, use a plastic scraper.
• Do not use boiling water to accelerate defrosting because it may damage any
plastic parts.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury, always switch off the appliance and
disconnect it from the power supply before defrosting, cleaning or maintenance.
