Cleaning the interior
The appliance does not need to be defrosted,
as it is equipped with an automatic defrost
function. 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.
1. Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
2. Take the chilled food out of the fridge and
take the frozen food out of the freezer.
3. Ensure that your food is kept cool enough.
If you do not have the opportunity to store
the frozen food in another freezer in the
meantime, wrap it up in a thick layer of
newspaper and store it in a cool room or
in an insulated bag while it is defrosting.
4. Remove the drawers (11) and (12) as well
as the glass shelves (13) and (15) and the
door shelves (14) from the freezer. Wash
them in warm water with washing-up liq-
uid and dry thoroughly.
5. To clean the fridge, remove the fruit/veg-
etable drawers (8) and (9) as well as the
glass shelves (4) and (6).
6. To remove the glass shelves, lift them
slightly at the front and then pull them out
of the guide rail.
7. In order to remove the door shelves, sim-
ply pull them upwards out of the holders.
8. Clean all of the parts in lukewarm soapy
water. Then dry everything thoroughly.
9. Wash the interior with warm water and
washing up liquid.
10. When wiping clean, add a few drops of
vinegar to the water to prevent mould
from forming.
Wipe the appliance’s interior dry.
11. Only clean the door seals with clean wa-
ter; they are sensitive to oil and fat.
12. Replace the glass shelves, the drawers
and the door shelves.
13. Return the food to the fridge or freezer.
14. Plug the mains plug back in the socket
and activate quick refrigerating and quick
freezing as described in section “Activat-
ing quick refrigerating and quick freezing
at the same time” on page EN-15.
15. As soon as the freezer has reached a
temperature of –18 °C, switch the tem-
peratures in the fridge and freezer back
to the previous values as described in
section “Setting the operating modes” on
page EN-14.
