MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

External cleaning

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners

contain chemicals that can attack/damage the

plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it

is recommended that the outer casing of this

appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a

little washing-up liquid added.
An accumulation of dust will affect the performance

of the appliance and cause excessive electricity

consumption.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill)

and the compressor at the back of the appliance,

with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see figure.

out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the

and bicarbonate of soda (5ml 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 SMELL.

When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,

disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all

foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar

to prevent unpleasant smells.

Changing the light bulb

Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off

the appliance and disconnect from the electricity

supply, then replace the bulb as follows;

Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward by

pressing as shown in the figure. Unscrew the bulb

and replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available

Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the

compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the

pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance

above the compressor, where it evaporates.

Important

To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,

periodically clean the water discharge hole in the

centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of

the refrigerator compartment behind the fruit and

vegetable drawer. Use the defrost cleaner provided

which you will find already inserted into the

discharge hole.
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy

water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before

replacing.
