DEFROSTING
A) FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The defrosting water runs
to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance (1).
(see diagram)
During defrosting water droplets may form
at the back of the fridge compartment
where concealed evaporator is located.
Some droplets may remain on the liner and
refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do
not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the droplets
which have frozen.
If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check
to ensure that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can
be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube
(2). If the frost layer reaches about 1/4"(7 mm), reduce the setting (i.e. from 4 to
1) to restart automatic defrosting.
B) FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.
CLEANING AND CARE
** We recommend that you switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull
out the mains plug before cleaning.
** Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent
and wax polish for cleaning.
** Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the appliance and wipe it dry.
** Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of
soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
** Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing.
** If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off,
remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
** We recommend that you polish the metal parts of the product (i.e. door
exterior, cabinet sides) with a silicone wax (car polish) to protect the high
quality paint finish.
** Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the back of the
appliance, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
** Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food
particles.
** Removal of door tray
• To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the
door rack upwards from the base.
** To remove a freezer drawer, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards,
and then pull it out completely.
** To remove the freezer flap door, first open the door 3” and then gently pull it
off. Make sure that the flap is in place before closing the freezer door.
**
Avoid spillage of food particularly small items like rice, peas, beans through the
fan guard as they may cause the cooling system to block and therefore operate
less efficiently.
