GB
Please observe that the care advice in this chapter is general. Some interior parts cannot for example be
washed, advice on cleaning these fixtures is given in section ”optional --equipment”. Therefore, please read the
instructions manual through carefully before use.
Removing the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed, e.g. to wash
the grille.
Unsnap the ventilation grille by pulling it toward
you.
To Change the Light Bulb
The light is switched on automatically when the
door is opened. Before replacing the light bulb,
disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
Fold the grille backward by unsnapping the front
edge.
Use a bulb of the same type, E14 socket, maximum
rating of 25 W.
When replacing the light bulb, use a bulb of the
same type as the original one. The glass must
measure at least 18 mm in diameter at the socket.
This will ensure close fitting of the bulb against the
rubber seal in the socket.
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet at regular intervals.
Don't use detergents, abrasive powders,
high perfumed cleaning products, wax
polishes or cleaning products
containing bleach or alcohol when
cleaning the product
Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accossories with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0,5 litre water)
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are clean and free from debris.
Clean out the drip channel inside the fridge at
regular intervals and ensure that the drip channel is
clear at all times. If blocked carefully clear using a
piece of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain
outlet to remove the blockage.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Remove the ventilation grille (see the section
"Removing the ventilation grille") and vacuum-clean
under the cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the
condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the
back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum
cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the
performance of the appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.
When moving the cabinet, lift it by
the front edge to avoid scratching the
floor.
