CAUTION
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to defl agration or explosion!
■
Never use defrosting sprays. They can
generate explosive gases.
■
Do not use any means other than
those recommended by the manufac-
turer to speed up defrosting. For ex-
ample, do not use any electric heat-
ing equipment, knives or devices with
an open fl ame such as a candle. The
thermal insulation and the interior
walls are scratch- and heat-sensitive
and can melt.
1. Turn off the appliance as described in
section “Switching the appliance on and
off” (see page EN-13).
2. Remove the frozen food from the freezer.
3. Ensure that your food is kept cool
enough. If you haven’t got the opportu-
nity to store the frozen food in another
freezer in the meantime, wrap it up in a
thick layer of newspaper and store it in a
cool room or in an insulated bag.
4. Remove the drawers from the freezer
compartment. Wash them in warm water
with washing up liquid and dry thoroughly.
5. Take the vegetable drawer (8) and the
glass shelves (12) out of the fridge com-
partment.
In order to remove the door shelves (3)
and (4), push them together slightly to
the sides and simultaneously pull them
upwards out of the holders.
6. Clean all of the parts in lukewarm soapy
water. Then dry everything thoroughly.
7. Wash the interior with warm water and
washing up liquid.
When wiping clean, add a few drops of
vinegar to the water to prevent mould
from forming.
Wipe the interior dry and leave the door
open a while to air.

8. The defrost water drain (10) can be
found on the rear wall of the refrigerator
compartment above the vegetable draw-
er. The cleaning tool (19) can be found
in the opening of the defrost water drain.
Use it to clean the defrost water drain.
9. Only clean the door seals with clean wa-
ter; they are sensitive to oil and fat.

and the door shelves.
11. Return the food to the fridge or freezer
compartment.

−
18 °C has
been reached, turn the temperature con-
troller back to the usual position.
