^
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently, so that
condensate can drain away
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to
clear the drain if necessary.
^
After cleaning, wipe the interior and
accessories with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the door open to air the
appliance for a short while.
Appliance doors, side panels
Remove any soiling from the
appliance doors and side panels im-
mediately.
If this is not done, it might become
impossible to remove and could
cause the surface to alter or
discolour.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour the
surfaces.
^
The surfaces should be cleaned
using a solution of hot water and a
little washing-up liquid applied with a
soft sponge. They can also be
cleaned with a damp microfibre cloth
(without using any cleaning agent).
^
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Ventilation gaps
^
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner. A build up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
Back of appliance -
compressor and metal grille
The compressor and the metal grille at
the back of the appliance (heat
exchanger) must be dusted at least
once a year. A build-up of dust will
increase the energy consumption of the
appliance.
Make sure that the cable and other
components do not get broken off,
bent or damaged in any way during
cleaning.
Door seal
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal as these will cause the
seal to deteriorate and become
porous over time.
^
The door seal should be cleaned
regularly with clean water and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
After cleaning
^
Replace all shelves and accessories
in the appliance.
^
Plug in the appliance again and
switch on using the On/Off and
temperature selector.
^
Place food back in the appliance and
close the doors.
