CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
711897
• Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners that contain abrasive
substances, acids, or solvents are not suitable for cleaning as they may
damage the surface.
Clean the appliance exterior with water or a mild solution of suds.
Lacquer-coated and aluminium surfaces may be cleaned with lukewarm water
to which you have added a mild detergent. Use of cleaners with low alcohol
content is allowed (e.g. window cleaners). Do not use cleaners containing
alcohol for cleaning plastic materials.
• A gutter and an opening for discharging
the water from thawed frost deposits are
located underneath the cooling panel
that cools the refrigerator interior. The
gutter and the opening may not be
clogged. Inspect them often and clean if
necessary (e.g. with a plastic straw).
• Frost or ice build-up, 3–5 mm thick,
will increase power consumption.
Therefore, it should be regularly
removed. Do not use any sharp
objects, solvents, or sprays.
• The condenser unit mounted on the
(exterior) back wall should always be
kept clean, free of dust or deposits
resulting from kitchen smoke or
fumes. Occasionally clean the dust
using a soft non-metal brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
• After cleaning, switch the appliance
back on and insert the food.
Appliance interior can be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you
can add some vinegar.
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power mains – switch off the
appliance (see chapter Switching the Appliance On/Off) and unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet.

• Do not wash the parts of appliance interior equipment in a dishwasher as
they may be damaged.
