Interior and Exterior Surfaces
Attention
Always unplug the power cable or switch
off the circuit breaker before cleaning.
Clean the exterior using lukewarm water and
a mild detergent.
Never use detergents, abrasive or acidic
agents.
Wipe the inside compartment dry.
Be careful to prevent water from getting into
contact with the electrical connections of the
temperature control or the interior light.
If the appliance is not going to be used for a
long period of time, unplug the power cable
remove all food. Clean the appliance and keep
the door open.
To preserve the appearance of your appliance,
you can polish the exterior and the door
accessories with a silicone wax.
Clean the condenser at the back of the
appliance once a year using a brush or a
vacuum cleaner. Dust build-up leads to
increased energy consumption.
Inspect the door gasket at regular intervals.
Clean with water only, and wipe totally dry.
Cleaning of the accessories
Door shelves:
Remove all food from the door shelves.
Lift the cover of the shelf upwards and pull it
off sideward.

Make sure that the pan at the back of the
appliance is always clean.
Gently release the snap of the pan from the
