Prior to any cleaning. Please disconnect the
appliance from the mains (turn the thermostat
button to the position and pull the power cord
from the mains outlet). Special antibacterial
protection in top layer of inner walls prevents
growth of bacteria and maintains the interior clean
and germ free. Make sure to remove traces of any
cleaning agents you had been using.
•
Clean the exterior of the appliance with water
and mild liquid detergent.
•
For cleaning of plastic, coated, or aluminum parts
avoid using abrasive or special cleansing agents
(like the stainless steel polish), otherwise you may
damage the surface.
•
Clean coated and aluminum surfaces using the
soft cloth and alcohol based cleaning agent (like
glass cleaner).
•
Wash the interior of the appliance with mild liquid
detergent and lukewarm water, mixed with a little
vinegar.
•
Groove and drain outlet located below the cooling
panel at the rear wall collect the drained water, so
should not be clogged (e.g. with food particles).
Make sure you inspect them periodically and
clean if necessary (use plastic straw to free the
outlet hole).
•
The condenser on the rear wall must always be
clean and free of dust or kitchen fumes deposits,
therefore clean the dust periodically with non-
metallic brush or vacuum cleaner.
•
Clean also the drip pan above the compressor.
If you removed the pan, please make sure you
replace it to the same position, and check that it is
in completely horizontal position!
•
Ice and/or frost deposits exceeding 3-5 mm
increase energy consumption, so should be
defrosted regularly (not for the NO FROST
freezer). Do not use sharp pointed objects,
solvents or sprays.
•
After cleaning switch the appliance on and reload
the food.
