Maintenance & Cleaning

Before any maintenance of 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 (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.

NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

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.

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.

Defrosting

While in operation the ice-making compartment becomes progressively covered with frost.

This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus prevents the cold from reaching the food should be removed whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 6mm (¼”).

To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:

1.Push the drip tray completely in.

2.Place a tray on the upper shelf of the refrigerator under the drain hole of the drip tray.

3.Remove any food from inside the ice-making compartment, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool dry place.

4.Turn the thermostat knob on position << 0 >>. To accelerate defrosting, place a bow of hot water inside the compartment (with a piece of cardboard underneath the bowl as protection).

5.When defrosting is completed, dry thoroughly and remove the water collected in the tray. Turn the thermostat knob on a medium position to restart the appliance.

After letting the appliance run for at least half an hour replace the previously removed food into the ice-making compartment.

When defrosting it is not necessary to remove the foods from the inner door and the refrigerator compartment.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their storage life.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it beyond repair.
