Cleaning and care
Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will
cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this
appliance.
Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp
edged or pointed objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.
Do not 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.
Rinse the ice cube maker and the water pipes:
– before using for the first time,
– if the ice cube maker has not been used for a long time,
– regularly when in continuous use (at least once a month), to
remove ice residues from the system (to avoid a blockage of the
water supply) and
– before switching the ice cube maker off for a long time.
Rinse the ice cube maker by filling the water container with hand-
hot drinking water only. Do not use hot or boiling water. Do not add
any detergents such as washing-up liquid.
