Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and 
lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may 
also be used.
After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.

To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge, once a year remove the
ventilation grille at the base and clean the air channels with a vacuum
cleaner.
After everything is dry, switch to fast freeze. After running the appli-
ance for two or three hours, it is ready again for storing frozen food.

Magnetic door seal

After opening and closing the door of your freezer you will not be able
to open the door again immediately. This is because a vacuum will
have developed inside, keeping the door closed until the pressures
inside and outside the door have equalised. After a few minutes you
can easily reopen the door.

Energy Saving Tips

• Do not install the appliance near boilers, radiators or other sources 

of heat. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent 
operation of the compressor.

• Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base 

and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent
openings.

• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to 

cool first.

• Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary.
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
• Check the storage temperature in the freezer on the thermometer.
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food 

will then be used to cool the fridge.
