Cleaning & Maintenance
DAILY CLEANING
The outside of your refrigerator can be
cleaned using a soft cloth moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Wipe dry with kitchen
towel.
Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners
on any part of your refrigerator as these
could permanently damage or discolour the
surfaces.
INTERNAL CLEANING
Wipe up any internal spills immediately with
a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Dry thoroughly.
SHELVES AND GUARDS
The Dairy guards, and shelves can be re-
moved and cleaned separately. However, we
don’t recommend cleaning the transparent
plastic parts in a dishwasher because the
high temperatures can dull the plastic over
time.
DOOR SEALS
Ensure that the door seals are kept free from
debris at all times. If they don’t seal properly
this can waste energy and cause excessive
ice build-up
DRAIN HOLE AND CLEANING TOOL
There is a small drain hole at the back of the
refrigerator cabinet. There is also a small
cleaning tool in the hole. Use the tool to clear
the drain hole when necessary. Do not allow
foodstuff to clog this hole
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
From time to time, it may be necessary to
perform more extensive cleaning to keep your
refrigerator in top condition and to maintain
energy efficiency.
Before performing any of these mainte-
nance steps, switch off your refrigerator and
remove the plug from the mains socket. Allow
the freezer section to defrost thoroughly.
EVAPORATOR TRAY
At the other side of the drain hole in the
refrigerator cabinet, there is a small plastic
tray that sits on top of the compressor. This
should be removed and cleaned thoroughly
from time to time to prevent unpleasant
odours.
Take care when moving the refrigerator not
to damage the cooling matrix or tilt the appli-
ance more than 45 degrees.
After maintenance, replace any shelves etc
and reconnect the appliance to the mains
supply.
