Section 4: Maintenance
4.1 Internal Cleaning
•
Clean the interior and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).
•
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
•
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products
containing bleach or alcohol.
•
Ensure that the defrost water channel and outlet are clean and not blocked (see Defrosting).
•
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products. There may be sharp edges on
the underside of the product, so care should be taken when cleaning.
•
Once or twice a year dust the rear of the appliance and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a
brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause
increased energy consumption.
•
Your refrigerator has fully automatic defrosting. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes through the
water collection spout and flows into the evaporating tray, where it then evaporates.
•
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, remove the contents, disconnect from the electricity supply,
defrost and clean the appliance (see Section 4.1), leaving the door ajar until you wish to use the appliance again.
Failure to do so will cause the fridge to smell.

•
