MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
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 ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
Interior Cleaning
Do not use alcohol or any cleaning product containing alcohol to prevent damaging the cabinet. All parts of the interior should be wiped with a soft cloth warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure that no moisture runs down behind the thermostat control. 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 SMELL. Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular intervals, and make sure that the drain hole is never obstructed, so that the defrost water can flow freely.
Defrosting
It is important to remove frost from the frozen food compartment regularly, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4� thick. To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows: � Remove any food from inside the frozen food compartment, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool dry place. � To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot water (not boiling) inside the compartment (with a place of cardboard underneath the bowl as protection). � When defrosting is complete, clean and dry the appliance.
Replacing the light bulb
Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug. Pull out the screw «Y» and the remove the protective cover «X». Unscrew the bulb «H» and replace (See Fig. 7).
Exterior Cleaning
Do not use alcohol or any cleaning product containing alcohol to prevent damaging the cabinet. Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (Black grill) 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. You MUST ensure the appliance is switched OFF.
