CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
!
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power mains – switch off the
appliance (see chapter Operating the Appliance) and unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet.
Cleaners that contain abrasive substances, acids, or solvents are not
!
suitable for cleaning as they may damage the surface.
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 wash the parts of appliance interior equipment in a dishwasher as
they may be damaged.
• A gutter and an opening for discharging
the water from thawed frost deposits are
located underneath the cooling panel
that cools the refrigerator interior. The
gutter and the opening may not be
clogged. Inspect them often and clean if
necessary (e.g. with a plastic straw).
• After cleaning, switch the appliance
back on and insert the food.
