Switching off for longer
periods of time
If, during a long absence, the
refrigeration appliance is switched off
but not cleaned and the door(s) left
shut, there is a risk of mould forming
inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the
refrigeration appliance.
If the refrigeration appliance is not
going to be used for a longer period of
time, observe the following:
Switch the refrigeration appliance off.
Switch off at the wall and remove the
plug from the socket, or disconnect
the mains fuse.
Empty the ice cube drawer.
Take the water container out of the
appliance, empty it, then clean and
dry it.
Clean the refrigeration appliance and
leave the door ajar to air the
appliance and avoid odours building
up inside.
