CLEANING AND CARE
** We recommend that you switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out
the mains plug before cleaning.
** Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent
and wax polish for cleaning.
** Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry.
** Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of
soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
** If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off,
remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
** To remove a drawer, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, and
then pull it out completely.
** Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the back of the
freezer, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
** Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food
particles.
