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 supply 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
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.
■
The surfaces can be damaged by un-
suitable cleaning agents. Use care
products only on the outer surfaces.
■
Only use soft cloths.
Checking and cleaning door
seals
The door seals must be checked regularly so
that no warm air can enter the appliance.
1. To test them, clamp a thin piece of pa-
per in various places. The paper should
be equally 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
– 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
• Use a soft brush to carefully brush the re-
verse side of the appliance and the com-
pressor once or twice a year.
Defrosting
Your fridge-freezer’s fridge is equipped with
an air-cycle system. Condensation, frost and
ice are automatically removed.
The no-frost system ensures that no ice can
form in the freezer. Defrosting is therefore not
required.
