11. CLEANING AND CARE
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher
settings before putting food in the compartment.
Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be
rapidly and complete frozen and to make it possible
to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene
food wraps which are airtight.
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food
which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise
of the latter.
Iced products, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment, will probably
cause frost burns to the skin.
It is recommended to label and date each frozen
package in order to keep track of the storage time.
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.
To maintain good appearance of your appliance,
you should clean it regularly.
Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a
clean, soft cloth.
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.
Hints for freezing
Exterior 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 r
emovable parts.
Caution!
Don't use sharp objects to remove frost from the
freezer. Only after the interior completely dry should
the appliance be switched back on and plugged
back into the mains socket.
Interior 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 warm water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly
after cleaning.
Caution!
Only after the door seals are completely dry should
the appliance be powered on.
