NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the freezer may result in dam-
age.
• Do not use corrosive, abrasive, soda or acidic de-
tergents or sponges to clean the freezer. They could
damage the surfaces. All-purpose cleaners with a
neutral pH are recommended.
• Never spray the freezer with a water jet (e.g. pres-
sure washer).
Cleaning the appliance surfaces
1. Clean the outside walls and door with a damp cloth and mul-
ti-purpose cleaner.
2. Wipe dry.
3. Regularly remove dust deposits from the capacitor on the
back of the freezer to minimise energy consumption.
Defrosting and cleaning the freezer
Moisture from food and ambient air forms frost on the inside of the
appliance.
At least once a year, remove ice and frost from the inner walls, at
the latest when the layer of frost is approx. 4 mm thick. Otherwise,
the ice forms a layer of insulation, which impedes the cooling out-
put and increases electricity consumption.
Tip:
Defrost the freezer in the winter when outdoor temperatures
are low and similar to the temperature inside the freezer. You
can then store the food on a balcony or similar while you are
cleaning the freezer.
Otherwise, you can temporarily store the food in a cool cellar.
You also have the option of using an insulated bag.
WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Defrosting sprays can form explosive gases, may
contain components that damage plastic, and may be
harmful to health.
• Never use defrosting sprays.
