IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning and care



Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals.

They can cause the seals to deteriorate over time.



Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short
circuit.



Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-

ing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or
pointed objects to

– remove frost or ice,

– separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.



Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost

it. These can damage the plastic parts.



Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they could contain

substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might
cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
