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. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol. Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular intervals and ensure that the drain hole is clear at all times. If blocked carefully clear using a piece of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain outlet to remove the blockage. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris. Defrosting Your Appliance The fridge compartment is defrosted automatically, when the motor stops. Defrost water from the cooling plate runs out of the drain and onto a tray on the motor compressor where it evaporates. Droplets of water on the cooling plate during defrosting are quite normal and will freeze on the plate afterwards. When the appliance is not in use External Cleaning Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products. There are sharp edges on the underside of the product so care should be taken when cleaning. 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 for long periods disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of the food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells. 14 Something Not Working If the appliance is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force agent.
