sponges.

Note
Approx. 4 hours before cleaning
the appliance, switch on super freezing

at room temperature for a longer period.
Proceed as follows:
1. Before cleaning: Switch off the
appliance.
2. Pull out mains plug or switch off fuse.
3. Take out the frozen food and store
in a cool location. Place the ice pack
(if enclosed) 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.
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 frozen food back into
the appliance.
