MAINTENANCE and
CLEANING
Removing the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed,
e.g. to wash the grille.
Make sure the door is open when
removing the ventilation grille. Unsnap
the upper edge of the grille by pulling
outward/downward. Then pull the grille
straight out to completely remove it.
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet at regular intervals.
Internal C lean in g
Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
Clean the inside and accessories with
warm water and bicarbonate of soda
(5ml to 0,5 litre water) Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
External C l ean in g
Use water/neu tral soap emulsion for
cleaning the surface of stainless steel,
anti-finger-print coated. Do NOT use
abrasive paste.
Wash the outer cabinet with warm
soapy water. Remove the ventilation
grille (see the section "Removing the
ventilation grille") and vacuum- clean
under the cabinet. Once or twice a
year dust the condenser (black grille)
and the compressor at the back of the
appliance, with a brush or vacuum
cleaner, as an accu mu lation of dust
will affect the performance of the
appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.
When moving the cabinet, lift it by the
front edge to avoid scratching the floor.
Servicing and cleaning the water
dispenser.
Never use cleaning agents with a
grinding or aggressive effect.
When necessary, clean the surfaces of
the dispenser and the water container
that are accessible from the outside,
using only a soft cloth and warm water.
The dispenser drip bowl can be
cleaned with a tepid solution of
washing up liquid.
If the system is not be used for a long
period turn off the water connection to
the refrigerator. A filter that has been in
service shall not be exposed to
temperatures below 0 °C as cracking
of the filter body may occur due to
freezing expansion.
If the filter still is to be preserved for
later reuse, suitable storage
temperature will be +5 °C.
