Care and Maintenance
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
• Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly, and cleaned once a
month after that.
• To clean the appliance, unplug from the power socket and remove all food and shelving.
• Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth containing a water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about
2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the shelving with a mild detergent solution.
• Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
• The outside of the appliance should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. Dry the interior and exterior
with a soft cloth.
• It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odour free and running
efficiently.
• Do not use oils, abrasive cleaners, petroleum products, acids or alkaline detergents, as they can damage the
appliance.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed. Never
use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as
fellows:
•
pull out the plug from the socket.
•
remove all stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
•
keep the door open, and placing a basin underneath of the appliance to collect the defrost water.
•
when defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.
•
replace the plug in the power socket to run the appliance again.
IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears not to be operating correctly, turn off the appliance at the switch and then
contact the Service Department.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF.
MOVING THE APPLIANCE
Remove all the food.
Securely tape down all loose items inside the appliance. Tape the doors shut.
Be sure the appliance stays in the upright position during transportation.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating
ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the
compressor to run longer. Foods that coo or freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
The freezer compartment should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with
cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
