Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT

the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.

Warning!

• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could

accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot

vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.

• The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.

• Do not use mechanical or artificial devices to accelerate the

defrosting process.

Attention!

• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.

– lemon juice or the juice from orange peals;

– butyric acid;

– cleansers which contain acetic acid.

Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance

parts.

• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.

1. Press the FROSTMATIC button about 12 hours prior to cleaning, so that

the frozen goods can build up a sufficient chill reserve.

Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze

to the goods.

2. Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover

them and store them in a cool place.

3. Switch appliance off by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button for

approximately 1 second.

4. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or

fuse.

5. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and luke-

warm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also

be used.

6. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.

7. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean

and free from debris.

Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption.

For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the

appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.

8. After everything is dry place appliance back into service.
