MAINTENANCE and

CLEANING

Avoid opening the refrigerator door during defrosting, as the cooling is off. If the freezer is turned off, the refrigerator will also turn off.

Cleaning

Clean the cabinet at regular intervals.

Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0,5 litre water) Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Vacuum-clean under the cabinet. 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 excessive electricity consumption.

When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.

Clean out the drip channel inside the fridge at regular intervals and ensure that the drip channel is clear at all times. If blocked carefully clear using a piece of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain outlet to remove the blockage.

External Cleaning

Use water/neutral soap emulsion for cleaning the surface of stainless steel, anti-finger-print coated. Do NOT use abrasive paste.

Defrosting the fridge

The fridge is defrosted automatically every time the compressor stops. Frost formation can be prevented by:

·not putting warm foodstuff inside the cabinet.

·avoiding frequently opening the door or keeping it open too long.

Defrosting the freezer

Defrosting is not necessary. Every 24 hours, the evaporator is defrosted automatically.

Never use a hair drier or other heating appliances to speed up defrosting. Excessive heat may damage the plastic interior, and humidity could enter the electric appliance making it live.
