Checking and cleaning door

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
carefully with a hair dryer and pull it out
with your fingers.
3. Only clean dirty seals with clean water.
Cleaning the exterior
• Use only mild pH-neutral soapy water.
Cleaning the back
Remove dust and clean the back of the
appliance and the compressor once or twice
a year.
• Carefully brush the back of the appliance
and the compressor with a soft brush.
