Other Useful Information
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury, always switch off the appliance and 
disconnect it from the power supply before cleaning or maintenance.
WARNING!
•  Never clean the unit with an abrasive, acid, oil or solvent based cleaning agent, or 
with abrasive pads or scourers. Never use flammable fluids or sprays for cleaning 
as the fumes from these substances can create a fire hazard or explosion.
•  Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in 
the electrical components, danger of electric shock! Hot vapours can lead to the 
damage of plastic parts. 
•  The appliance must be completely dry before it is placed back into service.
•  Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the 
juice from orange peel, butyric acid, or cleansers that contain acetic acid. Do not 
allow such substances to come into contact with the appliance parts.
Cleaning the unit
•  Switch off and unplug the fridge/freezer, before removing any food/other items, and 
the partitions. 
•  Wash the inside surfaces and the interior accessories with a damp, warm cloth 
moistened in a water and baking soda solution (about 2 tablespoons of baking soda 
to 1 litre of water). Wring excess water out of the cloth before cleaning around the 
temperature control or any electrical parts. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
•  Clean the outside of the unit with a damp, well wrung out cloth. Keep the door 
gasket (seal) clean.
•  After everything is dry, place appliance back into service.
Defrosting the appliance
You will need to defrost this appliance when a thick coating (more than 5 mm) of frost 
starts to appear on the inside of the unit - especially after prolonged use at sub-zero 
temperatures. To do so, switch off the unit and disconnect it from its power source. Leave 
it to sit for about two hours, or until the ice has melted, then pour/wipe the accumulated 
water from the appliance. Do not use sharp or hard tools to remove ice or frost. Ensure  
the fridge/freezer is completely dry before reattaching it to the power supply.
Storage
•  Before storage, switch off and unplug the unit from the power supply.
•  Defrost and dry the appliance, as described above. 
•  Store the unit in the original packaging, or wrap it with a plastic bag or piece of 
material and keep it in a dry, cool place, out of children’s reach. Leaving the door 
slightly ajar when storing may help avoid dampness and mould.
