CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
573259
• 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

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.
