Defrosting
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance
(Fig. 3).
During defrosting, water droplets may form at the back of the fridge compartment where a concealed evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed or
If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared with a
B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very straightforward and without mess, thanks to a special defrost collection basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start the defrosting procedure, switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Containers of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting.
Sponge out the defrost water collected in the bottom of the freezer compartment. After defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.
Instructions for use
Replacing the interior light bulb
Should the light fail, switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
Then ensure the bulb is screwed securely in the bulb holder. Replace the plug and switch on. If the light still fails, obtain a replacement E14
(Fig. 4).Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb immediately.
Cleaning and care
1.We recommend that you switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.
2.Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive substances, soap, household cleaner, detergent or wax polish for cleaning.
3.Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the appliance and wipe it dry.
4.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.
5.Make sure that no water enters the temperature control box.
6.If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time, switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
7.We recommend that you polish the metal parts of the product (i.e. door exterior, cabinet sides) with a silicone wax (car polish) to protect the high quality paint finish.
8.Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the back of the appliance, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
9.Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
