ance thoroughly (see
”Cleaning and Mainte-
nance”

of mold and unpleased odors.
Tips for energy saving
•
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply if
it isn’t in use.
• Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters
or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient
temperatures, the compressor will run more fre-
quently and longer.
•
Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear
side. Never block ventilation openings.
•
Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on
model) in their original position.
•
Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary.
•
Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the
appliance.
•
Open the appliance door only as necessary.
•
Defrost the unit regularly (model dependent).
• Switch on the lighting only if necessary.
•
The seal of the appliance door must be com-
pletely intact, so that the door closes properly.
Cleaning and Maintenance

•
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
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 or 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.
