Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING:

Always disconnect the appliance from
the power supply before cleaning and
user maintenance.

Do not use steam cleaners for clean-
ing the appliance; moisture could en-
ter electrical components. Risk of
electric shock! Hot steam could dam-
age the plastic parts.

The appliance 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 exte-
rior surfaces, the accessories and the
door seal regularly with warm water
and mild detergent; or with a clean,
damp microfiber cloth without clean-
ing 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. Other-
wise it can be damaged.
The fridge compartment has a partially
automatic defrosting system.
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 increased ice formation. In this case,
the fridge compartment must also be
defrosted manually.
To achieve better cooling and to save
energy, defrost the freezer regularly as
follows:
