Cleaning the interior
The appliance does not need to be defrosted
as it is equipped with an automatic defrost
function. Frost and ice are automatically de-
frosted and the thaw water is collected in a
thaw water container on the reverse side of
the appliance. The thaw water evaporates as
a result of the heat generated by the motor.
1. Disconnect the mains plug from the sock-
et.
2. Remove frozen food from inside the ap-
pliance.
3. Ensure that your food is kept cool enough.
If you are unable to store it 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 during
cleaning.
4. To clean inside, remove the small freezer
drawers (5), the glass shelves (4) and (3)
and the door shelves (9).
5. To remove the glass shelves (4) and (3),
lift them slightly at the front and then pull
them out of the guide rail.
6. To remove the door shelves (9), simply
pull them upwards out of the holders.
7. Pull the large freezer drawer (6) as far out
of the holder as possible.
8. Clean all of the parts in lukewarm soapy
water. Then dry everything thoroughly.
9. Wipe down the inside with warm water
and washing-up liquid.
10. When wiping clean, add a few drops of
vinegar to the water to prevent mould
from forming.
11. Wipe the interior dry.
12. Clean the door seals with clean water
only; they are sensitive to oil and fat.
13. Replace the glass shelves (4) and (3), the
small freezer drawers (5) and the door
shelves (9).
14. Return the food to the appliance.
15. Insert the mains plug back in the socket
and activate Quick freezing as described
in section “Activating quick freezing” on
page EN-13.
16. As soon as a temperature of –18 °C has
been reached, switch the interior temper-
ature back to the previous values as de-
scribed in section “Setting the operating
modes” on page EN-13.
