Defrosting
A
build-up of ice on the refrigeration coils cannot be
a
voided. This ice arises because the moisture from air
entering the refrigerator condenses on the refrigeration
coils and freezes. To minimise it, avoid opening the
freezer compartment unless you need to, and do
not leave the refrigerator door open for longer than
necessary. You should defrost the refrigerator when
the layer of ice is about 5–10 mm thick, as follows:
■ Take the frozen food out of the freezer compartment,
pack it (for example) in newspaper to keep it
insulated, then put it in a cool place.
■ Put a bowl on the top shelf beneath the hole in
the defrosting tray, to catch the water as it melts.
■ Switch off the refrigerator by turning its thermostat
control to the left, to the of
f position (black dot).
■ When you have finished defrosting turn the
thermostat control back to the required
temperature.
■ When the refrigerator has started working again
the bowl of water can be removed and the frozen
food can be put back in the freezer compartment.
Cleaning the refrigerator
Isolate the refrigerator from the electrical supply by
disconnecting the plug from the socket. Remove all the
food and put it somewhere cool. Clean the interior
and exterior of the refrigerator using water and a
suitable mild, unperfumed cleaning product.
Close the door
, plug in and switch on the electricity
.
The food can be put back after 10–20 minutes.
The hotplates, sinktop and other parts can also be
cleaned using warm water and a mild cleaning product.
Replacing the bulb inside the
refrigerator
The bulb is located on the rear of the thermostat
housing, on the right inside the refrigerator.
To replace it:
■ Isolate the refrigerator from the electrical supply
by disconnecting the plug from the socket.
■ Take out the defrosting tray from under the
freezer compartment.
■ Take hold of the bulb by inserting your fingers
from the rear, behind the bulb cover. Unscrew
the bulb by turning it anticlockwise.
■ The bulb should be marked 230 V 10 W and
have an E 14 cap.
If the refrigerator is to be left unused:
■ Isolate the refrigerator from the electrical supply
by disconnecting the plug from the socket.
■ Empty the refrigerator.
■ Clean it as described under "Cleaning the
refrigerator".
■ Leave the refrigerator door ajar to prevent any
unpleasant odour.
If the hotplates are to be left unused:
■ Clean the hotplates thoroughly
.
■ Apply to the hotplates either acid-free petroleum
jelly or a proprietary product for maintaining
hotplates.
If you used petroleum jelly
, before using the hotplates
for cooking again you should first heat them without
pans for 5 minutes on setting 3.
If you used a proprietary product for hotplates, follow
the instructions supplied with that.
