Section 4: Maintenance

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is 

carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the 

ELECTRICITY supply.

4.1. Internal Cleaning

Clean the interior and accessories with warm water  

and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).  

Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents,  

abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, 

wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach

or alcohol.

4.2. External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT 

use abrasive products. There may be sharp edges on the 

underside of the product, so care should be taken when

cleaning. Once or twice a year dust the rear of the  

appliance 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 increased energy consumption.

4.3. Defrosting

The fridge compartment will automatically defrost itself. 

The rear inner wall of the fridge compartment will at 

times appear wet, but this is part of the defrost  

process and is quite normal. However, you will need to 

defrost the freezer periodically. When ice build-up in

the freezer exceeds 3-5mm, empty the contents and 

switch off the appliance, leave the

door open and allow the ice to melt.

Place the frozen foods items in a cool-bag or wrap

them in thick newspaper. Do not use sharp objects to 

scrape the ice away. Clean and dry the interior, close the 

door and turn on the power to the appliance. When the

power has been restored the appliance will start to  

operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set 

operating temperature.

4.4. When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,  

remove the contents, disconnectfrom the electricity 

supply and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar 

until you wishto use the appliance again.
