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.

External cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do

NOT use abrasive products.

An accumulation of dust will affect the performance

of the appliance and cause excessive electricity

consumption.

You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched

OFF.

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 figure.

When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,

disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all

foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar

to prevent unpleasant smells.

Changing the light bulb

Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off

the appliance and disconnect from the electricity

supply, then replace the bulb as follows;

D411

Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward by

pressing as shown in the figure. Unscrew the bulb

and replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available

from your local Service Centre).

Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original

position and replacing the screw.

Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the

compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the

pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance

above the compressor, where it evaporates.

D037

Important

To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,

periodically clean the water discharge hole in the

centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of

the refrigerator compartment behind the salad

crisper. Use the defrost cleaner provided which you

will find already inserted into the discharge hole.

Warning

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in

the freezer compartment.

Ices Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal

from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin

burns.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands

are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or

Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ.

Thawing

Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can

be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature

depending on the time available. Small food items

may even be cooked from frozen; in this case

cooking will take longer.

Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw

accidentally should either be eaten as soon as

possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is

uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it

can be cooked and then refrozen.

Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the

refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat

can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must

ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.

Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling

water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in

the oven in their aluminium wrapping.

A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing

any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the

oven instructions, particularly regarding the

placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in

the oven.

Defrosted cooked food must never be

refrozen.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice tray with water to the top of each ice cube

compartment, and place it in the freezer

compartment. To release the ice cubes, twist the tray

along its length.

Never use a sharp instrument to remove the ice tray.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm

food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do

cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong

flavour.

Do not cover the shelves with any protective

material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which

may obstruct the air circulation through them.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are

some more useful hints:

Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in

polythene bags and place on top of the salad crisper.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for

one or two days at the most.

Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly

cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper.

Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special

airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or

polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should

be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds

when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils

or tubing at the rear, to the cooling

plate/evaporator.

When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is

being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring

sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.

A thermostat controls the compressor, and you

will hear a faint ÕclickÕ when the thermostat cuts in

and out.
