Before any maintenance or cleaning is
carried out you must DISCONNECT the
appliance from the electricity supply.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as these will
damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
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 the Appliance is not in Use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods
and clean the appliance, leaving the door open to
prevent unpleasant smells.

Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator defrosts every time the compressor
stops. The water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray
located at the back of the appliance above the
compressor, where it evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the centre
of the V shaped drip collector at the back of the
refrigerator compartment, behind the salad drawers.
Use a piece of flexible curtain wire for this purpose.
