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 dif-
ficult to pull through at all points.
2. If the seal is not uniform everywhere: Warm
the seal in the appropriate places in front
of you 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 special stainless steel cleaner from a
specialist shop. Never use polish.
Cleaning the reverse side
Remove dust and clean the back of the ap-
pliance and the compressor once or twice a
year.
• Carefully brush the reverse side of the
appliance and the compressor with a soft
brush.
