CLEANING AND CARE
**We recommend that you switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.
**Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
**Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry.
**Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
**Excess deposit of ice should be removed on a regular basis using a plastic ice scraper available from your local store. Large accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the freezer.
**If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the lid ajar.
**Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the back of the freezer, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
**Check lid seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particies.
