Cleaning the appliance
m
Caution
▯
Do not use abrasive, chloride or acidic cleaning
agents or solvents.
▯
Do not use scouring or abrasive sponges.
The metallic surfaces could corrode.
▯
Never clean the shelves or containers
in the dishwasher. The parts may become
deformed!
Proceed as follows:
1.
Before cleaning: Switch off the appliance.
2.
Pull out the mains plug or switch off the fuse!
3.
Take out the food and store in a cool location.
Place ice pack (if available) on the food.
4.
Wait until the layer of frost has thawed.
5.
Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, lukewarm
water and a little pH neutral washing-up liquid.
The rinsing water must not run into the light
or through the drainage hole into the evaporation
area.
6.
Wipe the door seal with clear water only and then
wipe dry thoroughly.
7.
After cleaning reconnect and switch
the appliance back on.
8.

Ventilation opening
The ventilation grille in the base can be removed for
cleaning. To do this, depress the clips in
the ventilation openings and simultaneously remove
the ventilation grille forwards.
Tips for saving energy
▯
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room!
The appliance should not be installed in direct
sunlight or near a heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker).
If required, use an insulating plate.
▯
Do not block the ventilation openings in
the appliance.
▯
The ice packs slow down the thawing process of
the frozen food in the event of a power failure or
malfunction. Place the ice packs directly on
the food in the top compartment.
▯
Open the appliance as briefly as possible!
The briefer the appliance door is opened,
the lower the ice formation on the freezer
shelves.
▯
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment
and use the low temperature of the frozen food
to cool refrigerated food.
▯
Regularly defrost the freezer compartment
to remove the layer of frost.
A layer of hoarfrost will impair refrigeration
of the frozen food and increase power
consumption.
▯
To avoid increased power consumption,
occasionally clean the back of the appliance.
▯
The arrangement of the fittings does not affect
the energy rating of the appliance.
