HELLER RBF92 Instruction Manual page 7

NOTE: When the appliance is not in use for long periods, remove the contents and disconnect
from the electricity supply. Then clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar until you wish to use
the appliance again.
To keep your domestic refrigerator operating efficiently and safely, periodic inspection and cleaning of
several components once a month is recommended.
CLEANING YOUR REFRIGERATOR:
• For safety reason, switch off and unplug the appliance from outlet before cleaning. Remove by
grasping the plug – do not pull on the cord.
• Remove the shelf and wipe down. Place it in a secure place, and replace it after the interior of
the refrigerator has been wiped clean.
• Wipe the inside and the outside of the refrigerator with a damp cloth, using lukewarm water.
• If the refrigerator is very dirty, wipe it with a neutral detergent first, then use a clean cloth to dry
it.
• Do not use other types of detergents, cleaners, abrasive powder or solvents which may contain
chemicals that could damage the lacquer coat and plastic surface of the refrigerator.
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.
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.
DEFROSTING:
If ice builds up in the ice-box and exceeds 3-5mm, empty the contents and switch off the appliance. Also leave
the door open and allow the ice to melt. 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.
CHANGING THE INTERIOR LIGHT BULB:
•
Switch off the power supply to the appliance.
•
Remove the screw from the light cover and remove the cover.
•
Unscrew the bulb from the rear of the light unit.
•
Replace the bulb with a suitable replacement (ensure it has the same wattage).
•
Refit the cover and switch the appliance back on.
