Cleaning and care

Interior and Exterior Surfaces

Attention

Always unplug the power cable or switch off the circuit breaker before cleaning.

Clean the exterior using lukewarm water and a mild detergent.

Never use detergents, abrasive or acidic agents.

Wipe the inside compartment dry.

Be careful to prevent water from getting into contact with the electrical connections of the temperature control or the interior light.

If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable and remove all food. Clean the appliance and keep the door open.

To preserve the appearance of your appliance, you can polish the exterior and the door accessories with a silicone wax.

Clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year using a brush or a vacuum cleaner. Dust build-up leads to increased energy consumption.

Inspect the door gasket at regular intervals. Clean with water only, and wipe totally dry.

Cleaning of the accessories

Drawers:

To clean a drawer, pull it out as far as possible, tilt it upwards and then pull it out completely.

Practical tips and notes

Freezing

•Always leave food to thaw in a container that allows the thawing water to run off.

•Do not exceed the maximum allowable freezing capacity when freezing fresh food (see the section "Freezing")

•Do not give children ice-cream and ices directly from the freezer.

The low temperature may cause cold burns on lips.

•Never re-freeze defrosted food; defrosted food must be consumed within 24 hours. Only food that has been cooked can be refrozen.

•Do not take out frozen food with wet hands.

•Store only fresh and impeccable food.

•Always use appropriate packaging material to avoid odour penetration or degradation of the food.

•Store commercially frozen food in accordance with the instructions given on the packaging.

•Freeze cooked food in small quantities. This ensures rapid freezing and maintains the quality of the food.

•Do not freeze liquids in tightly closed bottles or containers.

The bottles/containers may burst at low temperatures.

•Carry pre-frozen food in suitable bags and place it in your freezer as soon as possible. Always defrost food in the fridge compartment.
