Cleaning the inside of the Fridge/Freezer
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution
of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth
and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are
completely dry before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer. Condensation will form on
the back wall of the Fridge; however it will normally run down the back wall and into
the drain hole behind the salad bin.
The drain hole will have a "cleaning spike" inserted into it. This ensures that small
pieces off food cannot enter the drain. After you have cleaned the inside of your
Fridge and removed any food residues from around the whole, use the "cleaning
spike" to make sure that there are no blockages.
Cleaning outside the Fridge/Freezer
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the
Fridge/Freezer exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent
components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the
Fridge/Freezer
Vacation Time
-
SHORT VACATIONS: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less
than three weeks.
-
LONG VACATIONS: If the appliance will not be used for several months,
remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior
thoroughly. Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of
condensation, mold, or odors. Use extreme caution if you have children. The
unit should not be accessible for them to play.
