Cleaning and care

Before cleaning

￿Use the main switch to turn the appliance off completely.

The main switch is located on the right side underneath the control panel.

￿Unplug the power cord.

￿Remove any bottles from the appliance and store it in a cool place.

￿Take out any removable parts, e.g., shelves.

Cleaning the interior

￿It is recommended to clean the interior once a month.

￿Use a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap.

￿Clean the wooden racks with a damp cloth. Do not allow the racks to become too wet.

￿After washing, wipe down the interior and accessories with a clean wet cloth, then dry with a soft cloth. Leave the appliance doors open for a short time, so the moisture can evaporate.

Appliance door

￿Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.

￿To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner for stainless steel can also be used. Apply sparingly with even pressure.

Ventilation slits

￿Check the ventilation slits regularly. Remove any dirt/dust with a vacuum cleaner or brush. Clean as needed.

Door seals

Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous over time.

￿Clean the door seal with water only and dry thoroughly.
