Cleaning and care
For hygienic reasons the appliance
(including exterior and interior accessories)
should be cleaned regularly at least every
two months.
Warning!
The appliance must not be connected to
the mains during cleaning. Danger of
electrical shock! Before cleaning switch
the appliance off and remove the plug
from the mains socket.
Exterior cleaning
To maintain good appearance of your
appliance, you should clean it regularly.
Spray water onto the cleaning cloth
instead of spraying directly on the
surface of the appliance. This helps
ensure an even distribution of moisture to
the surface.
Clean the doors, handles and cabinet
surfaces with a mild detergent and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Caution!
Don’t use sharp objects as they are likely
to scratch the surface.
Don’t use Thinner, Car detergent, Clorox,
ethereal oil, abrasive cleansers or
organic solvent such as Benzene for
cleaning. They may damage the surface
of the appliance and may cause fire.
Interior cleaning
You should clean the appliance interior
regularly. It will be easier to clean when
food stocks are low. Wipe the inside of the
fridge freezer with a weak solution of
bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with
warm water using a wrung-out sponge or
cloth.
Wipe
completely
dry
before
replacing the shelves and baskets.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable
parts before putting them back into place.
Although this appliance automatically
defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the
freezer compartment
’
s interior walls if
the freezer door is opened frequently or
kept open too long. If the frost is too thick,
choose a time when the freezer is nearly
empty and proceed as follow:
1. Remove existing food and accessories
baskets, unplug the appliance from the
mains power and leave the doors open.
Ventilate
the
room
thoroughly
to
accelerate the process.
2. When defrosting is completed, clean
your freezer as described above.
Warning!
Do not use sharp objects to remove frost
from the freezer compartment. Only after
the interior is completely dry should the
appliance be switched back on and
plugged back into the mains socket.
Door seals cleaning
Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky
food and drinks can cause seals to stick to
the cabinet and tear when you open the
door. Wash seal with a mild detergent and
