6/ CLEANING AND CARE
CLEANING
For hygienic reasons, the appliance interior, including the interior accessories,
should be cleaned regularly.
Caution! The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Being
plugged in represents a danger of electrical shock. Before cleaning, switch off the
appliance and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit
breaker or fuse. Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could
accumulate in electrical components presenting a danger of electrical shock. Hot
vapors can lead to the damage of plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before it
is put back into service.
Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can damage plastic parts. Do not
use additives such as lemon juice or the juice from orange peel, butyric acid, or a
cleanser that contains acetic acid.
■ Do not allow such substances to come into contact with the appliance parts.
■ Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
■ Remove the food from the appliance and store them in a cool place.
■ Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains. Alternatively,
switch off the circuit breaker or unscrew the fuse.
■ Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm
water. After cleaning, wipe down with a clean, dry cloth until the interior is dry.
■ Once a year, carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance using
a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. This prevents the build-up of dust on the
condenser causing increased energy consumption.
■ After everything is dry, put the appliance back into service.

DEFROSTING THE FREEZER

The freezer compartment will gradually become covered with frost. This should
be removed. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape frost off the evaporator as you
could damage it.
When the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be
carried out as follows:
1. Pull the plug out of the socket.
2. Remove all stored food. Wrap the food in layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place.
3. Keep the door open.
4. Place a basin underneath the appliance to collect the melted frost water.
5. When defrosting is finished, dry the interior completely.
6. Replace the plug in the power socket to run the appliance again.
