Care and maintenance

Care and maintenance
WARNING
Health hazard!
Cleaning and maintenance must not
■
be carried out by children unless they
are supervised.
Risk of electric shock!
Before cleaning, pull the mains plug
■
out of the socket. Always take hold
of the plug itself, do not pull on the
mains cord.
Make sure that no cleaning water
■
penetrates into the ventilation slots,
into the electrical parts and into the
defrost water drain.
Check and clean the cover
seals
NOTICE
The door seals can get damaged by im-
proper handling.
The door seals are sensitive to oil and
■
grease – making the rubber porous
and brittle. Only clean with clean wa-
ter.
Only use soft cloths.
■
The cover seals must be checked regularly
so that no air can enter the chest freezer.
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:
Warm the seal in the appropriate places
in front of you with a hair dryer and pull it
out with your fingers.
3. Only clean dirty seals with clean water.

Clean exterior

NOTICE
The door seals can get damaged by im-
proper handling.
Never use harsh, soda, acid, solvent
■
or abrasive cleaners. These attack the
plastic surfaces. All-purpose cleaners
with a neutral pH are recommended.
Use care products only on the outer
■
surfaces.
Never spray the device with a water
■
jet (e.g. high-pressure cleaner).
Only use soft cloths.
■
• Use only light pH-neutral soapy water.
• Wipe dry.
• Regularly remove dust deposits from the
ventilation grilles on the back and on the
right-hand side of the chest freezer to
minimise energy consumption.
