Cleaning and care

35

Preparing the appliance for
cleaning

Switch the appliance off.

The temperature shown in the display
will go out and the cooling system
switches off.

Disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Switch off at the wall and
withdraw the plug from the socket, or
switch off at the mains fuse board.

Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.

Take the drawers and glass cold
plates out for cleaning.

Take out all other removable parts for
cleaning.

Cleaning the interior and ac-
cessories

Clean the appliance regularly (approx.
twice a year). Remove any soiling im-
mediately - do not allow it to dry on.

The best time to do so is when:

– there is very little or no frozen food

left in the freezer,

– the humidity level in the room is low

and the ambient temperature in the
room is also low.

Clean the 

interior

 with a clean

sponge, lukewarm water and a little
washing-up liquid.

After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.

Leave the door open to air the appli-
ance for a short while and to prevent
odours building up.
