Cleaning and care

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 appliances energy consumption.

Door seals

Do not use any grease or oil on the door seals as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become po- rous over time.

The door seals should be cleaned reg- ularly with clean water and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.

Metal grille at the back of the appliance

The metal grille at the back of the appli- ance (heat exchanger) should be dusted at least once a year. A build up of dust will increase the energy con- sumption of the appliance.

When cleaning the grille, make sure that the pipework and other compo- nents do not get broken or damaged in any way.

After cleaning

^Replace all shelves and accessories in the refrigerator section.

^Place food back in the refrigerator section, close the appliance doors, and switch the refrigerator section and the freezer section on.

^Switch on the super freeze function so that the freezer section can cool down quickly. The super freeze indi- cator light will come on.

^Once the temperature in the freezer has reached the required tempera- ture place the food back in the freezer drawers and place them back in the freezer.

^Switch off the super freeze function with the super freeze button. The in- dicator light will go out.
