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.

Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol.

Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.

Do NOT use abrasive products.

There are sharp edges on the underside of the product so care should be taken when cleaning.

Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.

To Change the Light Bulb

1.Switch off the appliance and disconnect from the electricity supply.

2.Remove the light cover by removing the screw at the rear with a screwdriver.

3.Pull the cover outwards towards the middle of the cabinet.

4.Unscrew the bulb and replace it with a new 15 watt E14 SES bulb (available from your local Service Force Centre).

5.Replace the cover by sliding it into its original position.

6.Replace the screw.

Automatic Defrosting

Your appliance has been designed to be frost free. This means there is no need to defrost your appliance as this will be carried out automatically.

When the Appliance is Not in Use

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