Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance.
The fridge and freezer sections should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. Do not use
abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand with soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
The water drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment and the evaporating tray should be clened periodically to
prevent the defrosted water from collecting inside the fridge compartment. The drain plug can be used to clean the drain
hole.
Once cleaning is complete, then reconnect the power.
If the appliance is not used for prolonged periods of time, unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left slightly
open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge.
It is important to keep the channel clear at all times. The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of
the appliance.
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer is frost free and as such is designed not to require defrosting.
To switch off the compressor for a short period of time and so to force a defrost cycle, push and hold the Audio Alert
Release / Force Defrost button for approximately five seconds.
