Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior acces-
sories, should be cleaned regularly.
Warning!
• The appliance may 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 disconnect from the power
supply.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could
accumulate in electrical components, danger of 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 peel;
– 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. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and luke-
warm water.
2. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
3. After everything is dry, switch to fast freeze. After running the appli-
ance for two or three hours, it is ready again for storing frozen food.
Once the frozen food has been placed in the freezer, return the fast
freeze button to the off position.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption.
For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appli-
ance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Magnetic door seal
After opening and closing the door of your freezer whilst it is in oper-
ation, you will not immediately be able to open the door again
because a vacuum will have developed inside, keeping the door closed
until the pressures inside and outside the door have equalised. After a
few minutes you can easily reopen the door.
