Cleaning

WARNING: Switch off electrical supply and pull out mains plug before cleaning.

Interior

Note : We recommend you use a straw to keep the defrost gutter drain hole clear of any blockage. DO NOT use sharp metal tools which could cause damage beyond repair.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive powder, household cleaner, bleach or wax polish to clean the interior, they will leave a smell in the fridge freezer.

1.Remove stored food, wrap or cover it and place into insulated containers to keep cool/frozen whilst cleaning.

2.Remove salad bins, racks, shelves and drawers from each compartment. Wash in warm water and washing up liquid using a soft cloth, dry thoroughly.

DO NOT use any cleaning agents on the wine rack, just wipe with a soft cloth.

3.Wipe interiors and fittings with a clean cloth wrung out in a solution of either one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water or Milton™ sterilising fluid, diluted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

4.Dry interior compartments thoroughly with a clean cloth before replacing fittings and food.

Note : It is important to ensure that cleaned shelves, racks, drawers and bins are thoroughly dried before refitting into the fridge freezer compartments.

Exterior

WARNING: Do not use abrasive powder, household cleaner or bleach, they can damage the exterior of your fridge freezer.

1.Use a clean soft cloth wrung out in warm water and washing up liquid to wipe the exterior surface, dry thoroughly.

2.Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust from underneath the fridge freezer and from the compressor and condenser situated at the back of the fridge freezer.

WARNING: Do not damage the pipework.
