Caring for your Appliance

Note: With the fully automatic No-Frost system, the freezer compartment remains ice free. Defrosting is no longer necessary.

Cleaning the Interior of your Appliance

We recommend that you clean your appliance before using for the first time.

WARNING: Switch off electricity supply and pull out mains plug before cleaning.

Remove food and wrap or cover to keep it frozen.

Remove shelves, trays and baskets and wash these in warm soapy water, dry thoroughly. Wipe the freezer interior with a clean cloth wrung out in either a solution of one teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water or Milton sterilising fluid, diluted according to manufacturers’ instructions. Dry the interior thoroughly with a clean cloth before replacing fittings and food.

Cleaning the Door Seal

Use soap and water on a clean damp cloth to wipe along and in between the creases of the door seal, dry thoroughly.

WARNING: Do not use detergent, it will damage the door seal.

Cleaning the Exterior of your Appliance

IMPORTANT: Never use a steam cleaner. If live components come into contact with condensing steam, they may short circuit or cause an electric shock.

WARNING: Do not use any household cleaner , abrasive powders or wax polish. These not only damage the surfaces, but also leave a smell within the appliance.

Use a small amount of detergent on a clean damp cloth to wipe the exterior surface, dry thoroughly.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from underneath the appliance and around the air grille at the base to prevent it becoming blocked.You do not need to remove the air grille for cleaning.

No water should be allowed into the control panel during cleaning.

Going away

If you expect to be away and don’t want to use your appliance, switch off electrical power supply and pull out the mains plug. Remove food, clean and dry the interior thoroughly.

Note: Leave doors ajar to prevent the accumulation of odours.
