Ventilation gaps
^
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner. A build up
of dust will increase the appliance’s
energy consumption.
Door seals
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seals as these will cause the
seals to deteriorate and become po-
rous over time.
The door seals should be cleaned reg-
ularly with clean water and then wiped
dry with a soft cloth.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
The metal grille at the back of the appli-
ance (heat exchanger) should be
dusted at least once a year. A build up
of dust will increase the energy con-
sumption of the appliance.
When cleaning the grille, make sure
that the pipework and other compo-
nents do not get broken or damaged
in any way.
After cleaning
^
Replace all shelves and accessories
in the refrigerator section.
^
Place food back in the refrigerator
section, close the appliance doors,
and switch the appliance on.
^
Switch on the winter setting so that
the freezer section cools down
quickly.
^
Once the temperature in the freezer
has reached the required tempera-
ture place the food back in the
freezer section.
^
Switch the winter setting off again.
