Tricity Bendix UF406W - Manual (Page 10)

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.
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 Defrost the Freezer
1. Wrap any food in layers of newspaper or
blankets.
2. Switch the appliance off at the wall socket
and remove the plug.
3. Open the freezer door.
4. Fold out the defrost flip spout.
5. Place a suitable container under the spout
to collect the defrost water.
6. After defrosting, clean and dry the interior.
7. Switch the appliance on and replace any
frozen food.
Defrosting can be speeded up by putting
bowls of hot (not boiling) water in the
freezer and loosening the frost with a
suitable plastic scraper.
If the temperature of frozen food is
allowed to rise during defrosting, its
storage life may be shortened.
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.
