• Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners that contain abrasive
substances, acids, or solvents are not suitable for cleaning as they may
damage the surface.
Clean the appliance

with water or a mild solution of suds.
Lacquer-coated and aluminium surfaces may be cleaned with lukewarm water
to which you have added a mild detergent. Use of cleaners with low alcohol
content is allowed (e.g. window cleaners). Do not use cleaners containing
alcohol for cleaning plastic materials.
• A gutter and an opening for
discharging the water from thawed
frost deposits are located underneath
the cooling panel that cools the
refrigerator interior. The gutter and the
opening may not be clogged. Inspect
them often and clean if necessary (e.g.
with a plastic straw).

Therefore, it should be regularly
removed (does not apply to NO

sharp objects, solvents, or sprays.
