For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added. After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.
What to do if… Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.
