Cleaning and care

Never use cleaning agents contain- ing abrasive substances such as sand, soda, acids or chemical sol- vents.

"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matt areas to appear.

For stainless steel surfaces, use a proprietary stainless steel cleaning agent.

Make sure that no water can pene- trate into the electronic unit or into the light.

Do not let water get into the drain- age channel and drain hole when cleaning.

Never use steam cleaning appara- tus to defrost or clean the appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

The data plate located inside the ap- pliance must not be removed. It contains information which is re- quired in the event of a service call.

Before cleaning

^Switch the appliance off by pressing the On-Off switch.

^Take any food out of the appliance and store it in a cool place.

^Take out any removable parts e.g. shelves for cleaning.

Cleaning the outer casing, the interior and accessories

^Clean the refrigerator section at least once a month and the freezer section at regular intervals.

^Accessories and shelves should all be hand washed. The butter dish is, however, dishwasher safe.

^Clean the condensate channel and drain hole frequently, so that conden- sate can drain away unhindered. Use a straw or similar to clear the drain if necessary.

^Clean stainless steel surfaces with a suitable cleaning agent.

^After cleaning, wipe the outer casing, the interior and accessories with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Leave the doors open to air the appli- ance for a short while.
