MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried 
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the 
ELECTRICITY supply.

Internal cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water 
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml 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 
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 may flow 
freely.

External cleaning

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, see Fig. 9.

You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched 
OFF. An accumulation of dust will affect the 
performance of the appliance and cause excessive 
electricity consumption.

disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all 
foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar 
to prevent unpleasant smells.

the appliance and disconnect from the electricity 
supply, then replace the bulb as follows;
