Cleaning the freezer
For hygienic reasons clean the appliance interior and accessories regularly.
We recommend cleaning the freezer after defrosting it.
• Make sure the unit is unplugged from the power supply and all food and the storage
basket are removed.
• Wash the inside surfaces and the interior accessories with a damp, warm cloth
moistened in a water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about two
tablespoons of baking soda to one litre of water. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Clean the outside of the unit with a damp, well wrung out cloth, keeping the area
around the control panel dry. Keep the lid gasket (seal) clean.
• If used as a refrigerator, regularly examine the drain in the appliance for defrost water
and clean the drain, if necessary. If the drain is blocked, water will collect in the base
of the appliance.
• After cleaning, push the drain plug in and also re-plug the drain plug inside the cabinet.
When everything is dry, place appliance back into service.
• Allow approximately two hours for the cabinet to cool down again (depending on how
long was disconnected from the power). If the appliance is used as a freezer, you
can speed up the cooling down time by setting the control panel to “Super Freezing”
mode for a few hours before resetting it to your usual freezer mode and temperature.
WARNING!
• Never clean the unit with an abrasive, acid, oil or solvent-based cleaning agent, or
with abrasive pads or scourers. Never use flammable fluids or sprays for cleaning
as the fumes from these substances can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in
the electrical components, danger of electric shock! Hot vapours can lead to the
damage of plastic parts.
• The appliance must be completely dry before it is placed back into service.
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the
juice from orange peel, butyric acid, or cleansers that contain acetic acid. Do not
allow such substances to come into contact with the appliance parts.
Storage
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period of time, unplug it from
the power supply and store the clean and dry appliance in the original packaging to
protect it from dust.
