Cleaning inside 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
