CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

1. Turn the appliance off. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
2. Take out the food and store in a cool location.

3. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, warm water and detergent.

4. Wipe the door seal with clear water only and then wipe dry thoroughly.

5. After cleaning reconnect and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.
6. Put the food back into the appliance.

DEFROSTING

A layer of frost in the freezer will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption. Remove the layer of frost regularly. Do not scrape off frost or ice with a knife or pointed object. Doing this may damage the refrigerant tubes.

1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
2. Disconnect the appliance from the mains socket.
3. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in the freezer.
4. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
5. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
6. Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.
7. Put the frozen food back in the freezer.

VACATION TIME

For short vacation periods, leave the control knobs at their usual settings. During longer absences;

• Remove all foods.
• Disconnect from electrical outlet.
• Clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including defrost pan.
  · Leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mold or odors.

POWER FAILURE

• Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by blacking dry ice on top of packages.
• Frozen food should not be affected if the power failure lasts for less than 15 hours.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.

• Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food. Also remove all mobile parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the fridge to avoid any shock.
• Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.

Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore you should be careful during shipment and installation to prevent your appliance's cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage to the cooler elements, move your fridge from open flame or heat sources and ventilate the room where the appliance is located for a few minutes.
