Cleaning and Care
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT
the appliance from the electricity supply.
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.
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
odour.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
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.
Door seal
After opening and closing the door of your freezer you will not be able to
open the door again immediately. This is because a vacuum will have
developed inside, keeping the door closed until the pressures inside and
outside the door have equalised. After a few minutes you can easily reopen
the door.
