Cleaning the interior
• Allow the appliance to defrost as previously de-
scribed.
• Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, warm
water or a little neutral detergent.
• Dry the appliance thoroughly with a dry cloth.
We recommend a cleaning every month.
Cleaning the outside of the appliance
• Wipe the housing down with warm soapy water.
• Dry the housing thoroughly with a dry cloth.
• Once or twice a year use a brush or a vacuum
cleaner to remove dust from the back of the unit
and the compressor. This increases the perfor-
mance and energy efficiency of the appliance.
Prolonged non-usage
• Take all foodstuffs out of the appliance.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains power
supply.
• Defrost the appliance and clean the inside.
• Leave the door open during long periods of non-
usage, so that mould, mildew, foul odours or
oxidation cannot form.
• Regularly clean the appliance inside and out
even when it is not in use.
Changing the door hinging
Subject to preference, the door of the freezer can
open to either the right or the left. Decisive for this
is the position of the door hinge. On delivery, the
door hinge is fitted on the right.
Danger of electrical shock
Before changing the hinge, unplug the appliance
from the mains power socket. Otherwise, there is
the great risk of receiving an electric shock!
Note
Changing the door hinge is easier to carry out when
there is assistance from a second person.
1. Unscrew the two screws at the rear that secure
the upper appliance cover. Pull the temperature
control from the axle to the front by using pliers.
Pull the upper appliance unit cover upwards and
then press it forward. Turn it a little so that you
have access to the screws on the top hinge. Then
loosen the screws securing the top hinge and re-
move it (Fig. 1). Replace the screws back into the
holes on the freezer.
