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.

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