Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the power
mains -
rotate the thermostat knob
A
to the
STOP (0)
position
and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Use a
soft cloth
to clean all surfaces. Cleaners containing
abrasive particles, acids, or solvents, are not appropriate
as they will damage the surface.
Clean
the appliance exterior
with water or a mild solution of
suds.
Lacquer-coated and aluminum surfaces can be cleaned with
lukewarm water to which some mild detergent was added.
Cleaning agents with minor alcohol content are also acceptable
(e.g. window cleaners).
Cleaners with alcohol content are not allowed for cleaning plastic
parts.
Clean
the appliance interior
with lukewarm water to which you
may add some
vinegar
.
• Placed under the cooling board that cools the refrigerator
interior are a trough (groove) and an opening through which
melted water is discharged from the appliance interior. The
through and the opening should never be blocked; therefore,
check them often and clean as required (e.g. using a plastic
straw).
• Frost and ice accumulated in a layer of 3-5 mm will cause
an increase in power consumption; therefore it should be
removed regularly. Do not use any sharp objects, solvents, or
sprays.
• After cleaning, switch on the appliance and put the food back
in.
