The appliance must not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains socket.

Exterior cleaning
To maintain good appearance of your appliance, you should clean it regularly.

• Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directlyon the surface of the appliance. This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface.
• Clean the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.

• Don’t use sharp objects as they are likely to scratch the surface.
• Don’t use Thinner, Car detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive cleansers or organic solvent such as Benzene for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the appliance and may cause fire.

Interior cleaning
You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easier to clean when food stocks are low. Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung- out sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts before putting them back into place.

Although this appliance automatically defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the freezer compartment’ s interior walls if the freezer door is opened frequently or kept open too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time when the freezer is nearly empty and proceed as follow:

1. Remove existing food and accessories baskets, unplug the appliance from the mains power and leave the doors open. Ventilate the room thoroughly to accelerate the process.
2. When defrosting is completed, clean your freezer as described above.
3. The gaps beside the freezer wind channel part are difficult to clean by wipe. You can use a pressure sprayer to help you clean. Spray weak solution of bicarbonate of soda firstly, and then rinse with warm water. Wipe completely dry after clean.
   

Warning!

Do not use sharp objects to remove frost from the freezer compartment. Only after the interior is completely dry should the appliance be switched back on and plugged back into the mains socket.
