HOW TO CLEAN THE CONDENSER –
NOTE:
You will
be alerted to the presence of excessive amounts of dust on the
condenser by a sound alarm. NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO MOVE
THE APPLIANCE FROM ITS POSITION IN THE UNIT IN ORDER TO
ACCESS THE CONDENSER.
DO SO WITH CAUTION!
Upon hearing this alarm, you should
:
•
Check the air circulation through
the bottom rail openings. Your
fridge-freezer needs good
ventilation at the plinth level at
the bottom.
•
If necessary, clean or
vacuum the dust from the
condenser. See the
instructions BELOW.
The condenser consists of the coil structure at the back of
the refrigerator.
To clean it
:
1.
Disconnect from the power supply.
2.
Move the refrigerator out of its cabinet housing. TAKE
EXTREME CARE whilst performing this. The back of
the appliance consists of the condenser coils. These
must be either dusted lightly or vacuumed. Be careful
not to damage them as they are vital to the
appliance’s good functioning.
3.
After cleaning, move the refrigerator back into place.
NOTE –
FROM TIME TO TIME, YOU
WILL ALSO NEED TO CLEAN
THE DRAIN PAN THAT SITS
ATOP THE COMPRESOR. Do
NOT remove it to clean it. IT
