Checking and cleaning the
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 seal is not uniform everywhere:
Warm the seal in the appropriate places
carefully with a hair dryer and pull it out
with your fingers.
3. Only clean dirty seals with clean water.
Cleaning the exterior
– Painted surfaces
Use only light pH-neutral soapy water.
– Stainless steel surfaces
Use common neutral detergent. Never use
polish.
Cleaning the back side
• Use a soft brush to carefully brush the
back side of the appliance once or twice
a year.
