Cleaning and Care

For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior acces-

sories, should be cleaned regularly.

Warning!

• The appliance must not be connected to the mains during cleaning.

Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off

and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the

circuit breaker or fuse.

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

accumulate in electrical components and there is a danger of an

electric shock. Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.

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

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. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also

be used.

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

To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge, once a year remove the

ventilation grille at the base and clean the air channels with a vacuum

cleaner.

6. After everything is dry, switch to fast freeze. After running the appli-

ance for two or three hours, it is ready again for storing frozen food.
