Care and maintenance
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Before cleaning, pull out the mains
plug or switch off the fuse.
■
When pulling out the mains plug, al-
ways hold the plug itself and not the
cord.
CAUTION
Dangers for children and people with
limited physical, sensory or mental ca-
pacity!
■
Cleaning and user maintenance must
not be carried out by children unless
they are supervised.
NOTICE
The surfaces and appliance parts can be
damaged through improper handling.
■
Never use harsh, soda, acid, solvent
or abrasive cleaners. These attack the
plastic surfaces. All-purpose cleaners
with a neutral pH are recommended.
■
Use care products only on the outer
surfaces.
■
Door seals and plastic parts are sen-
sitive to oil and grease. Remove con-
taminants as quickly as possible.
■
Only use soft cloths.
Checking and cleaning the
door seals
The door seals must be checked regularly so
that no air can enter the appliance.
1. To test them, clamp a thin piece of paper
in various places. The paper should be
difficult to pull through at all points.
2. If the seal is not uniform everywhere:
Warm the seal in the appropriate places
in front of you with a hair dryer and pull it
out with your fingers.
3. Only clean dirty seals with clean water.
Defrosting the fridge
This is not necessary, as the fridge of your
appliance has an auto-defrost feature. Frost
and ice are automatically defrosted and the
thaw water is collected in a thaw water con-
tainer on the reverse side of the appliance.
The thaw water evaporates as a result of the
heat generated by the motor.
Cleaning the fridge
1. Switch the appliance off by pressing the
Adjust button (1) for 5 seconds.
2. Disconnect the mains plug from the
socket or switch off the fuse.
3. Remove the chilled goods and place
them in a cool room.
4. Remove the fruit/vegetable drawer (9),
door shelves (6) and (8), and glass
shelves (13) and (10) and wash all the
parts in lukewarm soapy water. Then dry
everything thoroughly.
5. Wipe out the interior with a cloth lightly
moistened in soapy water. Make sure
that no liquid gets into the control unit
and refrigerator light.
6. When wiping clean, add a few drops of
vinegar to the water to prevent mould
from forming.
