CAUTION:
•
Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
•
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Cleaning the appliance including interior
To keep dirt and germs at bay, clean the appliance
regularly!
•
First clear out the contents of the appliance and
store it in a cool place. Remove all moving parts
such as shelves and drawers.
•
Clean the interior of the appliance, the exterior
surfaces and the accessories with lukewarm wa-
ter and a mild cleaning agent; or with a clean,
damp microfiber cloth without cleaning agent.
•
Clean the thaw water discharge channel / opening
carefully e.g. with a pipe cleaner.
•
After everything has dried thoroughly, you can put
the appliance back into operation.
•
Depending on the model:
At least once a year,
wipe off the dust that has accumulated on the rear
wall of the unit and on the condenser (metal
grille). Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner for
this purpose.
Cleaning / replacing the door seal
Regularly check the seal for dirt, damage and air
tightness!
Checking the seal for air tightness
•
Clamp a thin piece of paper at various points for
testing. The paper must be equally difficult to pull
through at all points.
Cleaning the gasket
•
Clean the gasket with clear water only!
•
CAUTION, grease and oil makes the seal porous
and brittle. Wipe up grease or oil immediately with
a damp, clean cloth.
Replacing the seal
•
Remove the contents of the appliance and, if nec-
essary, defrost the unit. Pay attention to how the
old gasket is attached. Most gaskets are only
plugged in.
•
Remove the worn gasket rubber by removing it
from the groove. Carefully clean the appliance
door and the groove below the rubber and remove
any adhesive residue.
•
Attach the new rubber. If necessary, heat the rub-
ber seal with a hair dryer or hot water and shape it
by hand. Start pressing the gasket in one corner
and then press it around the door into the groove
provided for this purpose.
•
Continue to check the seal regularly for dirt and
damage!
Defrosting
CAUTION:
Never use metal objects (e.g. knifes) to remove ice
from the evaporator. Otherwise, it can be damaged.
The appliance has a semi-automatic defrosting sys-
tem. During defrosting water drops drains off at the
back of the cooling chamber. The thaw water running
through a channel, is collected in a drip tray located
on the compressor, where it will evaporate. Make
sure the water discharge opening does not get
clogged. A light formation of ice on the interior back
during operation is normal.
A permanently high power level can lead to in-
creased ice formation. In this case, the fridge com-
partment can be defrosted manually
→ set a lower
power level.
Changing the light
CAUTION:
Do NOT remove the cover of the light. The LED light
may be replaced / repaired in case of failure / defect
only by an authorized specialist.
