crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is desig-
ned to be the most energy efficient configuration
Hints for fresh food refrigeration

temperature will increase resulting in the compressor hav- ing to
work harder and will consume more energy.

Cleaning and care
For hygienic reasons the appliance (including exterior and inte- rior ac-
cessories) should be cleaned regularly at least every two months.
Caution!
The appliance must not be connected to the mains during
cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appli-
ance off and remove the plug from the mains socket.
Exterior cleaning
• To maintain good appearance of your appliance, you should clean
it regularly.
• Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean, soft cloth.
• Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on
the surface of the appliance. This helps ensure an even distribution
of moisture to the surface.
• Clean the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent
and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Caution!
• Don’t use sharp objects as they are likely to scratch the surface.
• Don’t use Thinner, Car detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive
cleansers or organic solvent such as Benzene for cleaning. They may
damage the surface of the appliance and may cause fire.
Interior cleaning
• You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easier to
clean when food stocks are low.
• Wipe the inside of the refrigerator with a weak solution of bicarbo-
nate of soda, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out
sponge or cloth.
• Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and baskets. Tho-
roughly dry all surfaces and removable parts. Although this appli-
ance automatically defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the re-
frigerator’s interior walls if the door is opened frequently or kept
open too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time when the sup-
ply of food stocks are low and proceed as follows:
• Remove existing food and accessories baskets, unplug the appli-
ance from the mains power and leave the doors open. Ventilate the
room thoroughly to accelerate the thawing process.
•
Caution!
Don’t use sharp objects to remove frost from the refrige-
rator. Only after the interior is completely dry should the appliance
be switched back on and plugged back into the mains socket.
Door seal cleaning
• Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drinks can cause
seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash
seal with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry it tho-
roughly after cleaning.
•
Caution!
Only after the door seals are completely dry should the
appliance be powered on.
