Cleaning
You should always disconnect the appliance, or remove the fuses/switch off
the circuit breaker when cleaning the appliance.
We advise you to
regularly clean and disinfect
your appliance (at least once a
year) for better food hygiene and preservation.
•
Remove all food from the appliance. Carefully remove the glass trays and storage
draws from their racks.
•
You can clean the
glass trays and ice tray
using a soft sponge and warm water
mixed with a mild detergent, such as washing-up liquid. Rinse with clean water
and dry carefully with a soft cloth.
Caution: do not clean the glass trays with
hot water whilst they are still cold.
The glass may break due to the sudden
change in temperature and cause personal injury or property damage.
•
Clean the
inner and outer surfaces of your
appliance using white spirit vinegar
mixed with water.
Do not use alcohol, abrasive powders or detergents as this could damage the
surfaces of your appliance.
•
Rinse with clean water and dry carefully with a soft cloth.
•
Inspect the door seals regularly to check that they are clean and that there are
no food particles. Door seals must be kept clean at all times. Clean them using
warm water and dry well.
•
Dust off the compressor at the bottom of the rear side of the appliance at least
once a year. Layers of dust increase electricity consumption.
•
IMPORTANT: Do not place oils or oily dishes in the appliance in an open container,
as the grease can damage the plastic surfaces in your appliance. In the event of
spilling or splashing oil on any plastic surfaces, immediately clean and wash the
soiled area using hot water.
Defrosting
•
Your cold ventilated appliance will automatically defrost. The defrosting water is
collected in an evaporation tray located at the bottom rear end of the appliance.
Water will automatically evaporate from this tray.
