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 lukewarm 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.
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.
8.
Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.

Never:
• Clean the appliance with unsuitable material; e.g. petroleum based products.

• Scour, rub etc., with abrasive material.

• To remove a door tray, remove all the contents and then simply push the door tray upwards from
the base.

Make sure that the special plastic container (drain tray) at the back of the appliance which
collects defrost water is clean at all times. If you want to remove the tray to clean it follow the
instructions below:
• Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
• Push the lug down with the tip of a screw driver & pull out with a jerk movement.
