Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING:
Always disconnect the appliance from the power
supply before cleaning and user maintenance.
Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appli-
ance; moisture could enter electrical components.
Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage
the plastic parts.
The unit must be dry before restarting operation.
CAUTION:
Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive
items.
Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Cleaning the appliance including interior
Clean the appliance interior, the exterior surfaces,
the accessories and the door seal regularly with
warm water and mild detergent; or with a clean,
damp microfiber cloth without cleaning agent.
Remove the appliance content and storage it at a
cool location.
Clean the thaw water discharge channel / opening
carefully e.g. with a pipe cleaner.
After everything was thoroughly dried, you can
restart the operation.
Defrosting
CAUTION:
Never use metal objects (e.g. knifes) to remove ice
from the evaporator. Otherwise it can be damaged.
The fridge has an automatic defrosting system. Dur-
ing 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.
To achieve better cooling and to save energy, defrost
the freezer regularly as follows:
To start the defrosting process, switch the appli-
ance off and disconnect it from the power supply.
Remove the unit items and keep covered at a
cool location.
When the ice has melted, wipe the condensate
away and dry the appliance interior.
Then you may restart the appliance by connecting
the plug and setting the power level.
Changing the bulb
CAUTION:
Do NOT remove the cover of the interior light.
The LED light may be replaced / repaired in case of
failure / defect only by an authorized specialist.
