Cleaning and care
For hygienic reasons the appliance
(including exterior and interior accessories)
should be cleaned regularly (at least every
two months.
Warning!
The appliance must not be connected to
the mains during cleaning as there is a
danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning
switch the appliance off and remove the
plug from the mains socket.
Exterior cleaning
Wipe the control panel with a clean, soft
cloth.
Spray water onto the cleaning cloth
instead of spraying directly on the surface
of the appliance. This helps ensure an
even distribution of moisture to the
surface.
Clean the doors, handles and cabinet

wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Caution!
Don’t use sharp objects as they are likely
to scratch the surface.
Don’t use Thinner, Car detergent, Clorox,
ethereal oil, abrasive cleansers or organic
solvent such as Benzene for cleaning.
They may damage the surface of the
appliance and may cause fire.

food stocks are low. Wipe the inside of the
freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate

shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry all
surfaces and removable parts before
putting them back into place.
Caution!
Do not use sharp objects to remove
frost
from the freezer compartment.
Only after
the interior is completely
dry should the
appliance be switched
back on and
plugged back into the
mains socket.
Door seals cleaning

food and drinks can cause seals to stick to
the cabinet and tear when you open the
