CLEANING AND CARE
For hygienic reasons the appliance (including exterior and interior accessories)
should be cleaned regularly (at least every two months).
Warning!
The appliance must not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of
electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug
from the mains socket.
Exterior cleaning
To maintain good appearance of your appliance, you should clean it regularly.
• Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean, soft cloth.
• Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface
of the appliance. This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the
surface.
• Clean the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Warning!
• Do not use sharp objects as they are likely to scratch the surface.
• Do not use Thinner, Car detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive cleansers or
organic solvent such as Benzene for cleaning. They may damage the surface
of the appliance and may cause fire.
Interior cleaning
You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easier to clean
when food stocks are low. You can remove the drawers and shelves for a
more thorough clean. Wipe the inside of the freezer with a weak solution
of bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out
sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and baskets.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts before putting them back into
place.
Although this appliance automatically defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the
freezer compartment’s interior walls if the freezer door is opened frequently or
kept open too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time when the freezer is
nearly empty and proceed as follow:
1. Remove existing food and accessories baskets, unplug the appliance from
the mains power and leave the doors open. Ventilate the room thoroughly to
accelerate the process.
2. When defrosting is completed, clean your freezer as described above.
