General cleaning
It is recommended to clean and wipe out the fridge
regularly or after any spillage inside or outside the
appliance.
Use a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda diluted in
a pint of warm water. Wipe the internal surfaces
and shelving to remove food residues. Leave to dry
before reloading food.
Beware of the back wall as this may be cold to the
touch. Avoid wiping this until it has thoroughly
defrosted.
Wipe the outside casing from time to time in order
to remove dirt and dust from ventilation vents etc.
Keep water away from the thermostat housing.
Clean the door seals.
Remove accumulated dirt from around the
compressor motor taking care not to damage the
pipes and the wiring.
Defrosting
It is recommended to regularly defrost the fridge to
ensure efficient operation.
The frost on the internal surfaces must not exceed
6mm before defrosting.
Turn the temperature control to ‘0’.
Remove food from the fridge keep the door open
and wait until the frost has melted. Do not use
metal utensils to remove frost.
When defrosted turn the temperature control to the
desired setting and replace the food.
Drainage channel
Water collects in the drainage channel on the back
wall. It then passes to a drip tray over the
compressor from which it evaporates. The drain
should be cleaned regularly to avoid the build up of
impurities. Wipe the channel with a damp cloth and
use a small bottle brush, pipe cleaner or similar
flexible object to clean out any residue from the
drainage hole.
