MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the appliance
Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the socket before you start cleaning it.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, as they can damage the surface.
The day before you clean, set the thermostat dial to the lowest temperature setting to
freeze the foods completely.
•
Before cleaning, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a
cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to
use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
•
Regularly clean the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water. If so required, add a
neutral cleaning agent or special refrigerator cleaner to the water. Clean all surfaces with
a soft cloth. Wipe the cleaned parts with a cloth with clean water and then dry them
thoroughly.
•
Do not put parts of the appliance in a dishwasher: this could damage them.
•
Dry the interior of the appliance, plug in the mains, and set the thermostat knob to the
lowest temperature setting. After 24 hours, set the thermostat to the normal position.
When you are not going to use the appliance for a longer period then switch it off with
the appropriate key and disconnect it from the mains. Empty, defrost and clean the
appliance, and leave the door ajar.
