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
electrical 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 peals;
– 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 the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen
food in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well cov-
ered.
2. Defrost the freezer compartment prior to cleaning (see “Defrosting”
section).
3. Remove the stopper from the melt-
water outlet and place a bowl under-
neath it to catch the meltwater.
Tip: You can speed up the defrosting
process by placing a pan with warm
water in the freezer compartment
and closing the doors. Remove pieces
of ice that have fallen before they
completely defrost.
4. After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment ( see
"Cleaning and Care" section).
