Care and maintenance
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Before cleaning, pull out the mains
plug or switch off the fuse.
■
When pulling out the mains plug, al-
ways hold the plug itself and not the
cord.
CAUTION
Dangers for children and people with
limited physical, sensory or mental ca-
pacity!
■
Cleaning and user maintenance must
not be carried out by children unless
they are supervised.
NOTICE
The surfaces and appliance parts can be
damaged through improper 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.
Checking and cleaning the
door seals
The door seals must be checked regularly to
make sure that no air gets into 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:
Carefully warm the seal in the affected
places with a hair dryer and pull it out
slightly with your fingers.
3. Only clean dirty seals with clean water.
Defrosting the refrigerator
This is not necessary as the refrigerator has
an auto-defrost feature. Frost and ice are
automatically defrosted and the thaw water
is collected in a thaw water container on the
reverse side of the appliance. The thaw water
evaporates as a result of the heat generated
by the motor.
Cleaning the refrigerator
1. Switch the appliance off by pressing the
Adjust button (1) for 5 seconds.
2. Disconnect the mains plug from the
socket or switch off the fuse.
3. Remove the chilled goods and place
them in a cool room.
4. Remove the fruit/vegetable drawer (9),
door shelves (7) and (8), glass shelves
(10) and (13) and bottle rack (12), and
wash all the parts in lukewarm soapy
water. Then dry everything thoroughly.
5. Wipe out the interior with a cloth lightly
moistened in soapy water. Make sure
that no liquid gets into the control unit
and refrigerator light.
