plug from the socket or isolate/un-
screw the fuse.

Cleaning and user maintenance must
not be carried out by children unless
they are supervised.
NOTICE
The surfaces and appliance parts can
become damaged through unsuitable
handling.

Never use harsh, soda, acid, solvent or
abrasive cleaners.
These attack the plastic surfaces.
All-purpose cleaners with a neutral
pH are recommended.

Use care products only on the outer
surfaces.

Door seals and plastic parts are sen-
sitive to oil and grease. Remove con-
taminants as quickly as possible.
■
Only use soft cloths.
■
Do not wash individual appliance
parts in a dishwasher. They are not
dishwasher-safe.
■
Never spray the appliance with a wa-
ter jet (e.g. high-pressure cleaner).
■
Make sure that no water gets into the
electrical parts of the appliance.
Checking and cleaning the
door seals
The door seals must be checked regularly so
that no air can enter the appliance.
1. To test them, clamp a thin piece of paper
in various places. The paper should be
difficult to pull through at all points.
2. If the seal is not uniform everywhere:
Warm the seal in the appropriate places
in front of you with a hair dryer and pull it
out with your fingers.
3. Only clean dirty seals with clean water.
Cleaning the exterior
– Painted surfaces
Use only light pH-neutral soapy water.
– Stainless steel surfaces
Use special stainless steel cleaner from a
specialist shop. Never use polish.
Cleaning the reverse side
Remove dust and clean the back of the ap-
pliance and the compressor once or twice a
year.
• Carefully brush the reverse side of the
appliance and the compressor with a soft
brush.
