Replacing the interior

light bulb

Should the light fail, switch off at the socket

outlet and pull out the mains plug.

Then ensure the bulb is screwed securely in the

bulb holder. Replace the plug and switch on.

If the light still fails, obtain a replacement E14

screw-cap type 15 Watt (Max) bulb from your

local electrical store and then fit it
(Fig. 4)

.Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light

bulb immediately.

Cleaning and care

1.

We recommend that you switch off the

appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the

mains plug before cleaning.
2.

Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive

substances, soap, household cleaner, detergent

or wax polish for cleaning.
3.

Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet

of the appliance and wipe it dry.
4.

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.
5.

Make sure that no water enters the

temperature control box.
6.

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.
7.

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.
8.

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.
9.

Check door seals regularly to ensure they

are clean and free from food particles.

Defrosting

A) Fridge compartment

The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.

The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a

collection container at the back of the appliance
(Fig. 3)

.

During defrosting, water droplets may form at

the back of the fridge compartment where a

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 or forks to

remove the droplets which have refrozen.

If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain

from the collection channel, check that no food

particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain

tube can be cleared with a pipe-cleaner or

similar implement.

B) Freezer compartment

Defrosting is very straightforward and without

mess, thanks to a special defrost collection

basin.

Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of

around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start the

defrosting procedure, switch off the appliance

at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.

All food should be wrapped in several layers

of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g.

fridge or larder).

Containers of warm water may be placed

carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects, such as knives or forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters
or other such electrical appliances for
defrosting.

Sponge out the defrost water collected in the

bottom of the freezer compartment. After

defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly. Insert the

plug into the wall socket and switch on the

electricity supply.
