Cleaning and care

Cleaning the ventilation slits

^The ventilation slits should be cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust will increase the amount of energy the appliance consumes.

Door seal

Do not use any grease or oil on the door seal as they will cause the seal to deteriorate over time.

The door seal should be cleaned regularly with clear water and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the exterior coils

The metal coils on the back of the appliance (heat exchanger) need to be dusted and cleaned at least once a year. A build-up of dust and grime will increase the amount of energy the appliance consumes!

When cleaning the coils, be careful not to tear off, kink or otherwise damage any wiring or other parts.

After cleaning

^Replace all the parts of the refrigerator section.

^Return food to the refrigerator section, close the doors, plug in the power cord and switch on the appliance.

^Switch on the Super Freeze function to cool down the freezer section quickly.

^Once the temperature in the freezer section is cold enough, you can place the food in the freezer drawers and return the drawers to the freezer.

^Switch off the Super Freeze function as soon as the freezer section has reached a constant temperature of at least 0°F (-18°C).
