Cleaning & Maintenance

DAILY CLEANING

The outside of your refrigerator can be cleaned using a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Wipe dry with kitchen towel.

Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners on any part of your refrigerator as these could permanently damage or discolour the surfaces.

INTERNAL CLEANING

Wipe up any internal spills immediately with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Dry thoroughly.

SHELVES AND GUARDS

The Dairy guards, and shelves can be removed and cleaned separately. However, we don't recommend cleaning the transparent plastic parts in a dishwasher because the high temperatures can dull the plastic over time.

DOOR SEALS

Ensure that the door seals are kept free from debris at all times. If they don't seal properly this can waste energy and cause excessive ice build-up

DRAIN HOLE AND CLEANING TOOL

There is a small drain hole at the back of the

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

From time to time, it may be necessary to perform more extensive cleaning to keep your refrigerator in top condition and to maintain energy efficiency.

Before performing any of these maintenance steps, switch off your refrigerator and remove the plug from the mains socket. Allow the freezer section to defrost thoroughly.

EVAPORATOR TRAY

At the other side of the drain hole in the refrigerator cabinet, there is a small plastic tray that sits on top of the compressor. This should be removed and cleaned thoroughly from time to time to prevent unpleasant colours.

Take care when moving the refrigerator not to damage the cooling matrix or tilt the appliance more than 45 degrees.

After maintenance, replace any shelves etc and reconnect the appliance to the mains supply.

Troubleshooting

1. If the refrigerator does not run:

Check the supply voltage is available at the socket and check that the power plug is correctly connected.

1. If the refrigerator does not become cold enough:

a. is the thermostat is set too low? (setting 1 is warmest setting 7 is coldest)
b. is there enough space around the refrigerator?
c. is the door is opened too frequently or not closed properly? (check seals).
d. is there direct sun shine on the appliance or are there heat sources nearby?
e. is there too much food inside the compartment?
f. is there dust and debris built up on cooling matrix or compressor?

1. Food is freezing or too cold in refrigerator compartment:

a. There is too little food in the refrigerator

b. Thermostat is set too high

1. If the refrigerator operates noisily:

a. Check that the appliance is installed on a stable, level floor. Adjust the feet if necessary. The refrigerator is too near the wall
