Care and maintenance
Page GB-27
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 a longer time to clean, re-
move the frozen goods from the freezer. En-
sure that your food is kept cool enough.
Emptying the fridge compartment
1. Disconnect the mains plug from the sock-
et or switch off the fuse.
2. Remove the chilled goods and store in a
cool room.
3. Remove the door shelves (13) and (14),
the glass shelves (10), the bottle rack (9)
as well as the fruit/vegetable drawers (11)
and (12).
Cleaning
1. Wash the internal fixtures in warm water
with washing up liquid and dry thoroughly.
2. Wipe down the inside with warm water
and washing-up liquid.
3. When wiping clean, add a few drops of
vinegar to the water to prevent mould
from forming.
4. Only clean the door seals with clean wa-
ter; they are sensitive to oil and fat.
5. Wipe the interior dry and leave the door
open a while to air.
Re-start the appliance
1. Re-insert the internal fittings .
2. Connect the mains plug to the socket or
switch on the fuse again.
3. Place the food back in the fridge.
4. Switch on the “Quick refrigerating”
QUICK REF and “Quick freez-
ing” QUICK FRZ at the same time
(see page GB-15).
5. Once the fridge and freezer compart-
ments have sufficiently cooled turn off the
“Quick refrigerating” and “Quick freezing”
functions.
6. Set the desired fridge and freezer temper-
ature (see page GB-14).
Cleaning the freezer
compartment
WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to defl agration or explosion.
■
Never use defrosting sprays. They can
generate explosive gases.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
■
Defrost the appliance in a timely
manner, before it forms a layer of ice
and frost of more than 4 mm. Exces-
sive ice formation increases power
consumption and the freezer com-
partment door may no longer close
tightly.
■
Do not use any means other than
those recommended by the manufac-
turer to speed up defrosting. For ex-
ample, do not use any electric heat-
ing equipment, knives or devices with
an open fl ame such as a candle. The
thermal insulation and the interior
are scratch and heat-sensitive and
can melt.
If possible, defrost the freezer com-
partment in winter when the outside
temperature is low. You can then store
the food on the balcony (or similar) while
defrosting.
Alternatively, you can wrap up the frozen food
in a thick layer of newspaper and store it in a
cool room or insulated bag.
