mains cord. Remove the plug by pulling on the plug itself.

cleaned using warm water and a little bicarbonate of soda. Use 1 teaspoon to 1.2 litres
of water.
If the appliance is not to be used for a long period of time then it is recommended to
remove all the food stuff, clean the inside of the appliance and leave the door open to
allow the air to circulate thus avoiding unpleasant odors.

Power Failure

Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 12 hrs.
Extra protection can be given by covering the appliance with two or three thick blankets.
If a long power failure is anticipated, try to get the foodstuff into another appliance or
cold store, if possible.

Prolonged off periods
