Cleaning the fridge
For hygiene reasons, it is important to clean
the inside of the appliance, including the in-
ternal fixtures, regularly.
Keep the door to the freezer closed
during cleaning so that it does not
warm up. The frozen food can withstand
several hours like this.
Should you need a longer time to clean, re-
move the frozen goods from the freezer. En-
sure that your food is kept cool enough.
Emptying the fridge
1. Disconnect the mains plug from the sock-
et or switch off the fuse.
2. Remove the chilled goods and store in a
cool room.
3. Remove the door shelves (14) and
(16), the water tank (15), the glass
shelves (10), the bottle rack (11) as well
as the fruit/vegetable drawers (12) and
(13).
Cleaning
1. Wash the internal fixtures in warm water
with washing up liquid and dry thoroughly.
2. Wipe down the inside with warm water
and washing-up liquid.
3. When wiping clean, add a few drops of
vinegar to the water to prevent mould
from forming.
4. Only clean the door seals with clean wa-
ter; they are sensitive to oil and fat.
5. Wipe the interior dry and leave the door
open a while to air.
Using the appliance again
1. Re-insert the removed internal fittings.
2. Connect the mains plug to the socket or
switch on the fuse again.
3. Place the food back in the fridge.
4. Switch on ‘Quick freezing’ QUICK FRZ
and ‘Quick refrigerating’ QUICK REF at
the same time (see page EN-16).
5. As soon as the fridge and freezer are suf-
ficiently cooled, switch off ‘Quick refriger-
ating’ and ‘Quick freezing’.
6. Set the desired fridge and freezer temper-
ature (see page EN-14).
Cleaning the freezer
WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to deflagration or explosion.
■
Never use defrosting sprays. They can
generate explosive gases.
If possible, clean the freezer in winter
when the outside temperature is low.
You can then store the food on the balcony
(or similar) while defrosting.
Alternatively, you can wrap up the frozen food
in a thick layer of newspaper and store it in a
cool room or insulated bag.
Preparation
To ensure the frozen goods have a cold re-
serve and do not defrost so quickly, set to
‘Quick refrigerating’ and ‘Quick freezing’ at
least 3 hours before cleaning.
• Press the MODE button (33) repeatedly
until the QUICK FRZ and QUICK REF
symbols appear on the display.
Keep the door to the fridge closed dur-
ing cleaning so that no warm air enters
the fridge. Refrigerated food can withstand
several hours in this way.
Should you need a longer time to clean, re-
move the refrigerated goods from the fridge.
Ensure that your food is kept cool enough.
