Cleaning the appliance

m
Caution
Do not use abrasive, chloride or acidic
■
cleaning agents or solvents.
Do not use scouring or abrasive
■
sponges. The metallic surfaces could
corrode.
Never clean the shelves or containers
■
in the dishwasher. The parts may
become deformed!
Proceed as follows:
1. Before cleaning: Switch off
the appliance.
2. Pull out the mains plug or switch off
the fuse!
3. Take out the food and store in a cool
location. Place ice pack (if available)
on the food.
4. Wait until the layer of frost has thawed.
5. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth,
lukewarm water and a little pH neutral
washing-up liquid. The rinsing water
must not run into the light or through
the drainage hole into the evaporation
area.
6. Wipe the door seal with clear water
only and then wipe dry thoroughly.
7. After cleaning reconnect and switch
the appliance back on.
8. Put the food back into the appliance.

Tips for saving energy

Install the appliance in a dry, well
■
ventilated room! The appliance should
not be installed in direct sunlight
or near a heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker).
If required, use an insulating plate.
Do not block the ventilation openings
■
in the appliance.
The ice packs slow down the thawing
■
process of the frozen food in the event
of a power failure or malfunction.
Place the ice packs directly on
the food in the top compartment.
Open the appliance as briefly as
■
possible!
The briefer the appliance door is
opened, the lower the ice formation on
the freezer shelves.
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator
■
compartment and use the low
temperature of the frozen food to cool
refrigerated food.
Regularly defrost the freezer
■
compartment to remove the layer
of frost.
A layer of hoarfrost will impair
refrigeration of the frozen food
and increase power consumption.
To avoid increased power
■
consumption, occasionally clean the
back of the appliance.
The arrangement of the fittings does
■
not affect the energy rating of the
appliance.
