Internal cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.

NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES,TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG ODOUR.

External cleaning

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.

An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.

You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched OFF.

Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see figure.

Changing the light bulb

If it becomes necessary to replace the lamp, press on the rear hook and at the same time slide the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Unscrew the bulb and replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available from your nearest Service Force Centre).

Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original position.

Automatic Defrosting

Your appliance has been designed to be frost free. This means there is no need to defrost your appliance as this will be carried out automatically.

Before you move please contact your nearest Customer Care centre, listed below, to give them details of your new home. They will then ensure that the local Service Organisation is aware of your move and able to look after you and your appliances.
