Cleaning the appliance
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power mains
– switch off the appliance (see
chapter Switching the Appliance On/Off) and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners that contain abrasive substances, acids, or
solvents are not suitable for cleaning as they may damage the surface.
Clean the appliance exterior with water or a mild solution of suds. Lacquer-coated and aluminium
surfaces may be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you have added a mild detergent. Use of
cleaners with low alcohol content is allowed (e.g. window cleaners).
Do not use cleaners containing alcohol for cleaning plastic materials.
Appliance interior
can be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you can add some vinegar.
• A gutter and an opening through which the water from thawed ice flows are located
underneath the cooling panel that cools the refrigerator interior. The gutter and the opening
may not be clogged. Inspect them often and clean if necessary (e.g. with a plastic straw).
• Frost or ice build-up, 3-5 mm thick, will increase power consumption. Therefore, it should be
regularly removed. Do not use any sharp objects, solvents, or sprays.
• To vacuum the dust from the condenser unit:
▷
Remove the cabinet kickplate.
▷
Reach into the openings on the switchboard and release the latch.
▷
Pull the plate towards you and remove it.
▷
Pull out the condensate tray.
▷
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust from the condenser unit.
▷
Replace the condensate tray and the switchboard by observing the reverse order.
• After cleaning, switch the appliance back on and insert the food.
