Switching on and off
24
Turning off for longer periods
of time
If, during a long absence, the ap-
pliance is switched off but not
cleaned and the door(s) left shut,
there is a danger of bacteria building
up inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the appliance.
If the appliance is not going to be used
for a longer period of time, e.g. while on
vacation:
switch the appliance off,
unplug the power cord or trip the cir-
cuit breaker,
clean the appliance and
leave the door(s) ajar to air the appli-
ance and avoid odors building up in-
side the appliance.
It is also advisable to carry out the last
two instructions if you are switching
the refrigerator section off for a longer
period of time.
