7. TAKING OUT OF SERVICE
Switching off and storage
If the appliance will not be used for several months, first switch it off (turn the
thermostat switch to 'Off') and then pull the plug out of the socket.
• Make sure the appliance is completely thawed.
• Clean the inside thoroughly and carefully wipe everything dry with a
soft cloth. To prevent the formation of odours and moulds, leave the door
open: block it.
• Clean the door gasket groove with soap and water and carefully wipe
everything dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline
detergent, benzene, gasoline, acids, hot water or other corrosive or
soluble substances to clean the appliance.
• Store the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated place, away from a heat
source. Make sure the appliance is on a level surface and do not place
heavy objects on top.
• The appliance in storage must not be accessible to children playing.
