Attention:
• Do not place hot food in the appliance.
• You should never place hazardous, highly flammable or explosive substances such as alcohol, acetone or petrol in the
appliance, as this will pose an explosion hazard.
• Carefully package meat and fish to prevent unpleasant smells.
• Do not place food against the rear wall of the appliance.
• Leave sufficient space between the different foods, to allow the air to circulate properly.
• Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary.

tips
• A high ambient temperature will have a negative effect on the energy consumption. Direct sunlight and other heat
sources near the appliance also have a negative effect.
• Keep ventilation holes free. Covered and dirty holes cause a higher energy consumption. Ensure sufficient space around
the appliance, so that a proper ventilation and air flow around the appliance is possible.
• Do not open the door of the appliance more often than necessary and leave the door open as briefly as possible.
• Set the thermostat to a lower setting if circumstances allow.
• Allow cooked food that you want to store in the appliance to cool down to room temperature before placing it in the
appliance.
• Frost or ice will increase power consumption. Therefore, these should be removed regularly once they are 3 to 5 mm
thick.
• A door rubber that does not close properly could increase the power consumption. Therefore, have it replaced by a
skilled person in time.
• If the instructions are not observed, this could lead to a higher power consumption.

cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off by removing the plug from the socket.
Remove the food from the appliance. Clean the inside of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with a neutral cleaning agent
to prevent nasty smells. Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry.
Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. The shelves and drawers can be removed from the appliance easily and washed
by hand. These components may never be cleaned in the dishwasher.
For areas in the appliance that are difficult to clean, such as small openings or corners, it is recommended wiping them clean
regularly with a soft cloth or brush. If necessary, a tool can be used, such as thin sticks (cocktail sticks, for example), to make
sure no contamination can occur in these areas.
Clean the outside of the appliance and the door rubbers with a soft damp cloth.
Clean the back of the appliance and the surface on which it stands at least once a year with a vacuum cleaner, so that the
ventilation holes remain clean and the appliance is able to function as well and energy efficient as possible.
Do not use hard brushes, steel wool, abrasives (such as toothpaste), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, oil, etc.),
boiling water, acid or alkaline product to clean the freezer, as this could damage the surface or interior of the freezer. Boiling
water and benzene could deform or damage plastic components.
