Grill Removal - Bottom Grill Models
•
The ventilation grill on bottom grill models is held in place
with magnets and is easy to remove. On some models, you
may need to pull out the freezer drawer for easier access. To
remove, grasp the grill and pull straight out.
Cleaning the Ventilation Grill
•
To clean the grill, use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush
attachment at maximum power, sweeping it along the vent
slits. While the grill is removed, check the condition of the
(finned) condenser and remove any dust, as instructed
below.
Cleaning the Condenser
1. After the appliance is switched off and the ventilation grill
removed, wait approximately 30 minutes for the (finned)
condenser to cool down to room temperature.
2. Remove any dust build-up as shown in the picture. Use a
vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment at maximum
power, sweeping it back and forth in the direction of the fins,
taking care not to bend any of them.
3. Start up the appliance again by tapping the
ON/OFF
key on
the control panel for approximately 3 seconds.
Cleaning the Interior
1. Clean the internal parts by washing them with a solution
of lukewarm water and a small amount of dishwashing
detergent. See the following sections for instructions on how
to disassemble removable parts.
2. Rinse and dry right away.
3.
The ice cube container should be cleaned occasionally with
warm water. Make sure that you switch off the ice maker
before cleaning it. Rinse out and wipe dry.
