Regular Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories of the refrigerator with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid using detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes as these can damage the surfaces and leave a strong smell.

Defrosting the Refrigerator

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the compressor stops. Clean the water discharge hole in the V-shaped drip collector at the back of the refrigerator compartment regularly to prevent overflow.

Dust Removal

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 to prevent reduced performance and excessive electricity consumption.
