6Maintenance and cleaning
**We recommend that you switch
off the appliance 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 appliance 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.
**Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing.
**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.
**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.
**Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
**Removal of door rack
•To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.
**To remove a freezer drawer, pull
it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, and then pull it out completely.
**To remove the freezer flap door, first open the door 3” and then gently pull it off. Make sure that the flap is in place before closing the freezer door.
**Make sure that the special plastic container (drain tray) at the back of the appliance which collects defrost water is clean at all times. If you want to remove the tray to clean it follow the instructions below :
•Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
•Push the lug down with the tip of a screw driver & pull out with a jerk movement
•Clean the drain tray and wipe it
dry.
•Reassemble reversing the sequence and operations.
**Avoid spillage of food particularly small items like rice, peas, beans through the fan guard as they may cause the cooling system to block and therefore operate less efficiently.
