Section 4. Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the
appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
4.1. Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside 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.
4.2. External Cleaning
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 condenser (black
grille) 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.
4.3. When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, i.e. nothing is being stored
in the appliance, disconnect from the electricity supply, clean the appliance,
leaving the door ajar until you wish to use the appliance again.
4.4. What to do if something goes wrong
There is no power to the appliance:
-
Check there is not a power cut
-
Check there is power to the electric socket/appliance
-
Check the fuse in the plug (Must be 13 amp)
-
Check that the Temperature Control has been set correctly (section 3.2.)
The compressor runs continuously:
-
Is the door closed correctly?
-
Have large quantities of bottles recently been added to the appliance? –
if yes, allow the interior temperature to recover
-
Has the appliance door been opened frequently? – if yes, allow the
interior temperature to recover
-
Check that the Temperature Control has not been set to maximum
There is excessive condensation and/or frost build-up:
-
Ensure that the door has been closed correctly
-
Ensure that the door seal is clean and sealing correctly
-
Check that the Temperature Control has not been set to maximum
