Cleaning the condenser
The condenser is located behind the front ventilation grille in the bottom part of the appli-
ance. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment on full power to clean the slots
in the ventilation grille. If there is a heavy build-up of dust, the ventilation grille can be re-
moved in order to clean the condenser more thoroughly. A reminder appears in the dis-
play every 180 days. Clean the condenser and then reset the countdown reminder. How
to reset the reminder
: Using the functions and settings (see page 14).
▸ Switch off the appliance by pressing and holding the
but-
ton for 3 seconds.
▸ Wait for around 30 minutes until the condenser temperature
has reached the ambient air temperature.
▸ Remove the grille below the appliance door(s).
Remove all dust deposits from the condenser, taking care not to
damage it.
▸ Switch the appliance back on by pressing and holding the
button for 3 seconds.
The fins on the condenser are sharp! Use suitable protective equipment for hands
and arms in order to be able to clean the condenser safely.
