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 water can not penetrate into the electronic unit.
Do not use steam cleaning apparatus to defrost or clean the appliance. The steam could reach 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.
Before cleaning
^Switch the appliance off with the On/ Off dial. Switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug. 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.
^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.
Door seal
Do not use any oils or grease on the door seal as these will cause the seal to deteriorate and become porous with time.
