dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or
cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol.
EXTERNAL CLEANING:
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products. There may be sharp edges on the
underside of the product, so care should be taken when cleaning. Once or twice a year dust the rear of the
appliance and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumula
on
of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause increased energy consump
on.
DEFROSTING:
If ice builds up in the ice-box and exceeds 3-5mm, empty the contents and switch off the appliance. Also leave
the door open and allow the ice to melt. D
o not use sharp objects to scrape the ice away. Clean and dry the interior,
close the door and turn on the power to the appliance. When the power has been restored, the appliance will
start to operate but it may take some
me to achieve the pre-set opera ng temperature.
