WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT.
Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over it.
The refrigerator and freezer compartment should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in a dishwasher.
Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
After washing the appliance wipe over the area that has been cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the mains plug.
The defrost drain hole
Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation. The defrosted water is collected by the
evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
The drain hole should be cleaned periodically. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the refrigerator instead of
flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole.
You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean the defrost channel.
IMPORTANT: You should be careful to make sure that food packages do not touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can
interrupt the automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the base of the refrigerator.
Use a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water to clean the evaporation tray.
IMPORTANT: It is normal to get some ice droplets forming on the back wall of the appliance. The formation of ice droplets does
not indicate an appliance fault.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically. You can use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount of frost
that builds.
IMPORTANT: The freezer compartment should be defrosted at least twice a year. The number of times that you
need to defrost it will depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much food you freeze and store in the
freezer compartment.
The day before you defrost, you should adjust the thermostat displays to its coldest setting or switch on the super frost setting. This
will make sure that the food contained in the freezer section is frozen properly.
Whilst defrosting the appliance the food should be removed from the compartment and wrapped in several layers of paper and
stored in a cool place. The food’s rise in temperature will shorten it’s storage life and therefore the food should be used within a
relatively short period of time.
DO NOT PLACE FOOD BACK IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT THAT HAS STARTED TO THAW.
