Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.

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

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products.

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

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.

When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Changing the light bulb

D731

Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward toward the middle of the cabinet. 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 and replacing the screw.

Cleaning the crispÕn fresh filter

The filter is held by two small support frames which press into position and are therefore easily removed for cleaning. To do this, turn the glass shelf upside down and release the frames as shown in figure. The filter and the glass cover can be washed gently in warm soapy water, they should not be put in the dishwasher.

Replacement filters can be purchased as a spare part from your local Zanussi Service Centre.
