Switching on and off
Switching off for longer periods of time
If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday
^switch the appliance off,
^switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug,
^defrost and clean the appliance out and
^leave the door ajar to air the appliance.
If, during a long absence, the appliance is switched off but not cleaned out and the door is left shut there is a danger of mould and odours building up inside the appliance.
