become deformed!
Proceed as follows:
1. Before cleaning: Switch off the
appliance.
2. Pull out the mains plug or switch off
the fuse!
3. Take out the food and store in a cool
location. Place ice pack (if available)
on the food.
4. Wait until the layer of frost has thawed.
5. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth,
lukewarm water and a little pH neutral
washing-up liquid. The rinsing water
must not run into the light or through
the drainage hole into the evaporation
area.

Tips for saving energy
■
Install the appliance in a dry, well ven-
tilated room! The appliance should not
be installed in direct sunlight or near a
heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker).
If required, use an insulating plate.
■
Do not block the ventilation openings
in the appliance.
■
The ice packs slow down the thawing
process of the frozen food in the event
of a power failure or malfunction.
Place the ice packs directly on the
food in the top compartment.
■
Open the appliance as briefly as pos-
sible!
The briefer the appliance door is
opened, the lower the ice formation on
the freezer shelves.
■
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator
compartment and use the low temper-
ature of the frozen food to cool refrig-
erated food.
■
Regularly defrost the freezer compart-
ment to remove the layer of frost.
A layer of hoarfrost will impair refriger-
ation of the frozen food and increase
power consumption.
■
Occasionally clean the rear of the
appliance to prevent an increased
power consumption.
■
The arrangement of the fittings does
not affect the energy rating of the
appliance.
