Important!

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

– lemon juice or the juice from orange peel;

– 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. Remove frozen food and wrap it in several layers of newspaper. Store it

in a cool place, well covered.

2. Defrost the appliance prior to cleaning (see "Defrosting" section).

3. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.

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

warm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 litres

of water).

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

6. After everything is dry, switch to FROSTMATIC function and switch off

the audible warning signal. Immediately replace the previously

removed food in the freezer. When the red warning light goes out,

turn the FROSTMATIC function off.

Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption.

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

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

Magnetic door seal

After opening and closing the door of your freezer you will not be able

to open the door again immediately. This is because a vacuum will

have developed inside, keeping the door closed until the pressures

inside and outside the door have equalised. After a few minutes you

can easily reopen the door.
