Care and maintenance
WARNING
Health hazard!
■
Cleaning and user maintenance must
not be carried out by children unless they
are supervised.
Risk of electric shock!
■
Unplug the mains cable before cleaning.
Take hold of the mains plug itself, do not
pull on the mains cord.
■
Make sure that no cleaning water gets
into the ventilation slots, the electrical
parts and the drain opening.
NOTICE
The surfaces and door seals can get dam-
aged by improper handling.
■
Never use harsh, soda, acid, solvent or
abrasive cleaners. These attack the plas-
tic surfaces. All-purpose cleaners with a
neutral pH are recommended.
■
Use care products only on the outer sur-
faces.
■
The door seals are sensitive to oil and
grease – making the rubber porous and
brittle.
■
Only use soft cloths.
Checking and cleaning door
seals
The door seals must be checked regularly so
that no air can enter the appliance.
1. To test them, clamp a thin piece of paper
in various places. The paper should be
difficult to pull through at all points.
2. If the door seal does not sit evenly
throughout, use a hairdryer to carefully
warm it up at the affected areas and pull
them out slightly with your fingers.
3. Clean dirty door seals with clean water
only.
Clean exterior
– Painted surfaces
Use only light pH-neutral soapy water.
Defrosting the fridge
compartment
This is not necessary. The fridge compart-
ment of your appliance has an auto-defrost
feature. Frost and ice are automatically de-
frosted and the thaw water is collected in a
thaw water container on the reverse side of
the appliance. The thaw water evaporates as
a result of the heat generated by the motor.
