Cleaning and care
For hygienic reasons the appliance
(including exterior and interior
accessories) should be cleaned
regularly (at least every two months).
Warning!
The appliance must not be connected to
the mains during cleaning as there is a
danger of electrical shock! Before
cleaning switch the appliance off and
remove the plug from the mains socket.
Exterior cleaning
Wipe the control panel with a clean, soft
cloth.
Spray water onto the cleaning cloth
instead of spraying directly on the surface
of the appliance. This helps ensure an
even distribution of moisture to the
surface.
Clean the doors, handles and cabinet
surfaces with a mild detergent and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.

Caution!
Don't use sharp objects as they are
likely to scratch the surface.
Don't use Thinner, Car detergent,
Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive cleansers
or organic solvent such as Benzene for
cleaning. They may damage the surface
of the appliance and may cause fire.
Interior cleaning
You should clean the appliance interior
regularly. It will be easier to clean when
food stocks are low. Wipe the inside of
the fridge freezer with a weak solution of
bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with
warm water using a wrung-out sponge
or cloth. Wipe completely dry before
replacing the shelves and baskets.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and
removable parts before putting them
back into place.
Although this appliance automatically
defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on
the freezer compartment’s interior walls
if the freezer door is opened frequently
or kept open too long. If the frost is too
thick, choose a time when the freezer is
