NOTICE
Risk of damage!
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.
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:
Carefully warm the seal in the appropriate
places with a hair dryer and pull it out with
your fingers.
3. Only clean dirty seals with clean water.
