Care and maintenance
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Before cleaning, unplug the mains
plug from the socket or isolate/un-
screw the fuse.
■
When pulling out the mains plug, al-
ways take hold of the mains plug it-
self and never the mains 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, granular, soda, acid,
solvent-based or abrasive cleaners.
These attack the plastic surfaces.
All-purpose cleaners with a neutral
pH are recommended.
■
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 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:
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.
Clean exterior
– Coated surfaces
Only use light pH-neutral soapy water.
Defrosting the fridge
compartment
This is not necessary, as the fridge compart-
ment of your appliance has an auto-defrost
feature. Frost and ice are automatically de-
frosted 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.
