Cleaning and care
For reasons of hygiene the appliance should be cleaned
regularly, at least every two months (including interior and
exterior accessories).
Caution!
•
Unplug the appliance before cleaning it. Risk of electric
shock. Before cleaning, turn off the appliance and
unplug it from the power socket.
•
Do not use sharp objects, as they could scratch the
surfaces of the appliance.
•
Do not use thinners, car cleaning products, chlorinated
detergents, essential oils, abrasive cleaners or organic
solvents such as benzene for cleaning. They could
damage the surfaces of the appliance and cause a fire.
Cleaning the exterior
You should clean the appliance regularly to preserve its
appearance.
•
Wipe the control panel and display with a clean, soft
cloth.
•
Clean the door, handle and cabinet exterior with a mild
detergent solution, and dry them with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the interior
You should clean the interior regularly. This is easiest to do
when there is not much food inside.
•
Remove the food and take out all shelves and drawers.
Wipe the interior of the appliance with a dilute solution
of bicarbonate of soda, then rinse with warm water
using a damp sponge or cloth.
•
Dry the interior completely before refitting the shelves
and drawers. Wipe all surfaces and removable parts.
Although the appliance is defrosted automatically a
layer of frost may form on the interior walls if the door is
opened frequently or left open for too long. If the layer
of frost becomes too thick, choose a time when there is
not much food in the appliance and do as follows:
•
Remove the drawers and food, unplug the appliance
from the power socket and leave the door open. Make
sure the room is well ventilated to speed up defrosting.
•
Do not use sharp objects to remove frost from the
appliance. Once the appliance is completely dry you
can plug it in and turn it on.
Cleaning the door seal
Take care to keep the door seal clean. Sticky food and
drink can cause the seal to stick to the cabinet and become
damaged when you open the door. Clean the seal with a
mild detergent and water. Rinse and dry it carefully after
cleaning.
Remember!
Do not turn the appliance back on until the door seal has
dried completely.
