Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.

Removing the ventilation grille

The ventilation grille can be removed, e.g. to wash the grille.

Make sure the door is open when removing the ventilation grille. Unsnap the upper edge of the grille by pulling outward/downward. Then pull the grille straight out to completely remove it.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and the accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0,5 litre of water).

Rinse and dry thoroughly.

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

Regulary check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris. Clean out the drip channel inside the fridge at regular intervals and ensure that the drip channel is clear at all times. If blocked carefully clear using a piece of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain outlet to remove the blockage.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Remove the ventilation grille (see the section "Removing the ventilation grille") and vacuum-clean under the cabinet. 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.

When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.
