Switching off for longer
periods of time
If the appliance is not going to be used
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst
on holiday,
^
switch the appliance off at the mains,
^
withdraw the plug (pull on the plug
and not the cable),
^
defrost and clean the appliance out
and
^
leave the door ajar to air the
appliance.
If, during a long absence, the
appliance is switched off but not
cleaned out and the door is left shut,
mould and odours are likely to build
up inside the appliance.
