Cleaning the fridge
For hygiene reasons, it is important to clean
the inside of the appliance, including the in-
ternal fixtures, regularly.
Keep the door to the freezer closed dur-
ing cleaning so that it does not warm
up. The frozen food can withstand sev-
eral hours like this.
Should you need a longer time to clean,
remove the frozen goods from the
freezer. Ensure that your food is kept
cool enough.
1. Disconnect the mains plug from the
socket or switch off the fuse.
2. Remove the chilled goods and store in a
cool room.
3. Remove the door shelves (2) and (3),
the glass shelves (5) and (6), the bottle
rack (4) and the fruit/vegetable draw-
ers (7) and clean all parts with lukewarm
water. Then dry everything thoroughly.
4. Wipe down the inside with warm water
and washing-up liquid.
5. When wiping clean, add a few drops of
vinegar to the water to prevent mould
from forming.
6. Only clean the door seals with clean wa-
ter; they are sensitive to oil and fat.
7. Wipe the interior dry and leave the door
open a while to air.
8. Re-insert the shelves and drawers .
9. Place the food back in the fridge.
10. Connect the mains plug to the socket or
switch on the fuse again.
11. Set the desired fridge and freezer tem-
perature.
