Cleaning the appliance
ã=
Caution
■
Do not use abrasive, chloride or acidic
cleaning agents or solvents.
■
Do not use scouring or abrasive
sponges. The metallic surfaces could
corrode.
■ Never clean the shelves or containers
in the dishwasher. The parts may
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.
6. Wipe the door seal with clear water
only and then wipe dry thoroughly.
7. After cleaning reconnect and switch
the appliance back on.
8. Put the food back into the appliance.

Tips for saving energy
■ Install the appliance in a dry, well
ventilated 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
possible!
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
temperature of the frozen food to cool
refrigerated food.
■
Regularly defrost the freezer
compartment to remove the layer
of frost.
A layer of hoarfrost will impair
refrigeration 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.
