It is important to do this every time
the stainless steel surfaces are
cleaned, as the stainless steel
conditioner protects the surfaces
and helps prevent re-soiling.
Ventilation gaps
^
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned regularly with a brush or
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust
will increase the energy consumption
of the appliance.
Door seals
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seals as these will cause the
seal to deteriorate and become
porous over time.
The door seals should be cleaned
regularly with clean water, and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
The metal grille at the back of the
appliance (heat exchanger) should be
dusted at least once a year. A build-up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
When cleaning the grille, make sure
that the pipework and other
components do not get broken or
damaged in any way.
After cleaning
^
Replace all shelves and accessories
in the refrigerator section.
^
Place food back in the refrigerator
section, close the appliance doors,
insert the plug in the socket and
switch the appliance on.
^
Switch on the Super freeze function
so that the freezer section can cool
down quickly.
^
Once the freezer section has
reached the required temperature,
place the food back in the freezer
drawers and replace them in the
freezer section.
^
Switch off the Super freeze function
as soon as the temperature in the
freezer is a constant -18 °C or colder.
