cleaning and maintenance
For reasons of hygiene, the appliance (including the exterior and accessories) must be
cleaned regularly (at least once every 2 months).
IMPORTANT:
The appliance must not be plugged in during cleaning. Risk of electrocution!
Turn off and unplug the appliance before cleaning it.
Cleaning the outside of the appliance
To maintain the appearance of your appliance, you should clean it regularly.
•
Wipe the display panel with a soft, clean cloth.
•
Spray water on the cloth rather than on the surface of the appliance. This ensures a
good distribution of moisture on the surface.
•
Clean doors, handles and surfaces with a mild detergent, then wipe them down.
Cleaning the inside
IMPORTANT:
Do not use sharp objects as they may scratch surfaces.
Do not use thinner, car detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive cleaners or
organic solvents such as benzene. They can damage surfaces and catch fire.
Regularly clean the inside of the appliance. It is easier to do this when the appliance is
less full. Wipe the inside walls of the freezer with a mild baking soda solution and rinse
with warm water, using a sponge or damp cloth. Dry well before replacing shelves and
other removable parts. Although this appliance defrosts automatically, a layer of frost
may appear on the inside walls of the freezer if the doors are opened frequently or for
too long. If the layer of frost is too thick, choose a time when there is little food in the
appliance and follow the instructions below:
1.
Remove food and compartments, unplug the appliance and leave the door open.
Ventilate the room to speed up the defrosting process.
