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. Always take hold of
the mains plug itself, do not pull on
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
become damaged through unsuitable
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 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:
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 stain-
less steel cleaner from a specialist shop.
Never use polish.
Defrosting
The fridge and freezer compartments remain
ice-free thanks to the No-Frost technology.
Defrosting is not necessary; it occurs auto-
matically.
Cleaning the fridge
compartment
For hygiene reasons, it is important to clean
the inside of the appliance, including the in-
ternal fixtures, regularly.
Keep the door to the freezer compart-
ment closed during cleaning so that
it does not warm up. The frozen food can
withstand several hours like this.
Should you need more time to clean, remove
the frozen goods from the freezer. Ensure
that your food is kept cool enough.
