Care and maintenance
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
Before cleaning, unplug the mains
■
plug from the socket or isolate/un-
screw the fuse.
When pulling out the mains plug, al-
■
ways take hold of the mains plug it-
self and never the mains cord.
CAUTION
Dangers for children and people with
limited physical, sensory or mental ca-
pacity!
Cleaning and user maintenance must
■
not be carried out by children unless
they are supervised.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
The surfaces and appliance parts can be
damaged through improper handling.
Never use harsh, granular, soda, acid,
■
solvent-based or abrasive cleaners.
These attack the plastic surfaces.
All-purpose cleaners with a neutral
pH are recommended.
Door seals and plastic parts are sen-
■
sitive to oil and grease. Remove con-
taminants as quickly as possible.
Only use soft cloths.
■
Checking and cleaning door
seals
The door seals must be checked regularly so
that no air can enter the appliance.
1. To test them, clamp a thin piece of paper
in various places. The paper should be
difficult to pull through at all points.
2. If the seal is not uniform everywhere:
Carefully warm the seal in the affected
places with a hair dryer and pull it out
slightly with your fingers.
3. Only clean the dirty seals with clean wa-
ter; they are sensitive to oil and fat.

Clean exterior

– Coated surfaces
Only use light pH-neutral soapy water.
– Stainless steel surfaces
Use special stainless steel cleaner from a
specialist shop. Never use polish.
Defrosting the freezer
compartment and cleaning
the interior
Moisture from the food and ambient air forms
frost on the inside of the appliance.
You should remove ice and frost from the in-
ner walls of the freezer at least once a year,
or at the latest when the layer of frost is ap-
prox. 4 mm thick. Otherwise the ice forms a
layer of insulation, which impedes the cooling
output and increases electricity consumption.
WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to defl agration or explosion!
Never use defrosting sprays. They can
■
generate explosive gases.
