Cleaning the appliance
Before cleaning the appliance, pull out
the mains plug or switch off the fuse!
Wipe the door seal with clear water only
and then wipe dry thoroughly.
Clean the appliance with lukewarm water
and a little washingĆup liquid. The rinsing
water must not run into the light.
The rinsing water must not run through
the drainage hole into the evaporation
pan.
After cleaning: reconnect and switch on
the appliance.
Attention!
S Do not use abrasive or acidic cleaning
agents and solvents.
S Never clean the shelves or containers
in the dishwasher. The parts may warp!
S Regularly clean the condensation
channel and drainage hole, Fig. 3,
so that the condensation can flow out.
Clean the condensation channel with
cotton buds, etc.
Tips for saving energy
S Install the appliance in a dry, well
ventilated room, but not in direct
sunlight and not near a heat source
(e.g.Ăradiator, cooker, etc.). If required,
use an insulating plate.
S Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance!
S When thawing frozen products, place
them in the refrigerator. The low
temperature of the frozen products
cools the food in the refrigerator.
S Open and close the door as briefly
asĂpossible.
S A layer of hoarfrost in the freezer
compartment will impair refrigeration
ofĂthe frozen food and increase power
consumption. Defrost the appliance if
frost forms!
S Ensure that the freezer compartment
door has been closed properly.
S Occasionally clean the rear of the
appliance with a vacuum cleaner or
paint brush to prevent an increased
power consumption.
