Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior acces-
sories, should be cleaned regularly.
Warning!
• The appliance must not be connected to the mains during cleaning.
Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off
and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or disconnect
from the electricity supply.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could
accumulate in electrical components and there is a danger of an
electric shock. Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
• The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Important!
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
– lemon juice or the juice from orange peel;
– butyric acid;
– cleansers which contain acetic acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance
parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
1. Remove frozen food and wrap it in several layers of newspaper. Store it
in a cool place, well covered.
2. Defrost the appliance prior to cleaning (see “Defrosting” section).
3. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
4. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and luke-
warm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 litres
of water).
5. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
6. After everything is dry, switch to FROSTMATIC function and switch off
the audible warning signal. Immediately replace the previously
removed food in the freezer. When the red warning light goes out,
turn the FROSTMATIC function off.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption.
For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appli-
ance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
