Clean the interior using warm water and bicarbonate of soda
with a soft cloth. Make sure that the interior is then dried
carefully with a suitable cloth.

as these can damage the interior of the appliance.
Shelves and other accessories (plastic and glass parts) can be
cleaned in the sink using liquid dishwashing liquid and warm
before replacing them inside the appliance.
Always keep the door seals clean.

they may break or crack.

!
produced during the first 24 hours.

Shutting Off the Refrigerator

In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for
about 5 hours.
Should there be a prolonged power cut you may need to
remove food from the freezer compartment and store it in
a cold place, wrapped in layers of newspaper to preserve
suitable temperatures.
Once power is restored replace the food back into the freezer
compartment.
Should food begin to defrost, or the power cut last longer
than expected, it is advised that you consume any food
removed from the freezer.
If the power outage is short term, most foods can be left
inside the freezer compartment – this is the best way of
preserving temperature – and surrounded by ice cubes from
the icebox. This is also an ideal solution for power outages
you may have been pre-warned about.
When experiencing a power cut of any kind, do not add any
extra foods to the freezer.

When Not in Use

If you are not using the appliance for an extended length
supply, empty any food out, clean the inside of the appliance
and leave the door ajar. This will save energy, and also prevent
a build up of stale odours inside.
