MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Changing the light bulb
Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off the appliance and disconnect from the electricity supply, then replace the bulb as follows;
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG ODOUR.
External cleaning
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added. An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption. You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched OFF. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see figure.

Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward by pressing as shown in the figure. Unscrew the bulb and replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available from Expert Appliance Care). Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original position and replacing the screw.
Automatic Defrosting
Your appliance has been designed to be frost free. This means there is no need to defrost your appliance as this will be carried out automatically.
