Care and maintenance
WARNING
Health hazard!
■
Cleaning and maintenance must not
be carried out by children unless they
are supervised.
Risk of electric shock!
■
Before cleaning, pull the mains plug
out of the socket. Always take hold
of the plug itself, do not pull on the
mains cord.
■
Make sure that no cleaning water
penetrates into the ventilation slots,
into the electrical parts and into the
defrost water drain.
Check and clean the cover
seals
NOTICE
The door seals can get damaged by im-
proper handling.
■
The door seals are sensitive to oil and
grease – making the rubber porous
and brittle. Only clean with clean wa-
ter.
■
Only use soft cloths.
The cover seals must be checked regularly
so that no air can enter the chest freezer.
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.
Clean exterior
NOTICE
The door seals can get damaged by im-
proper 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.
■
Never spray the device with a water
jet (e.g. high-pressure cleaner).
■
Only use soft cloths.
• Use only light pH-neutral soapy water.
• Wipe dry.
• Regularly remove dust deposits from the
ventilation grilles on the back and on the
right-hand side of the chest freezer to
minimise energy consumption.
