Cleaning and care
Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances such as sand, soda, acids or chemical solvents.
Door fronts should be cleaned using a solution of warm water with mild detergent applied with a soft cloth or with a suitable cleaning agent for the type of door panel fitted.
Make sure that no water can penetrate into the electronic unit.
Never use steam cleaning apparatus to defrost or clean the appliance. The steam could attack the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
The data plate located inside the appliance must not be removed. It contains information which is required in the event of a service call.
^Clean the appliance immediately after defrosting it.
^Take out any removable parts for cleaning e.g. drawers.
Interior and accessories
Use lukewarm water with a little mild detergent. All accessories should all be hand washed. Do not wash in a dishwasher.
^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.
E-Cloth
^A microfibre
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 appliance’s energy consumption.
Before cleaning
^Switch the appliance off. Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in another freezer or cool box or wrap it in several layers of newspaper or cloths and store in a cool place until the freezer is ready for use again.
Door seal
Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.
The door seals should be cleaned regularly with clean water and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
