CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
498628
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.
• 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.
Appliance interior can be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you can add some
vinegar.
• A gutter and an opening through which
the water from thawed ice fl ows 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 (does not
apply to NO FROST freezer). 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.
