Care and cleaning
Cleaning
For hygiene reasons the appliance interior, including
interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
Caution! The appliance must not be connected to
the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical
shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and
remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn
out the circuit breaker or fuse. Never clean the appliance
with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in
electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot
vapours can lead to damage of plastic parts. The
appliance must be dry before it is placed back into
service.
Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can
attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice from
orange peel, butyric acid, cleansers that contain acetic
acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact
with appliance parts.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
Remove foodstuffs from the compartment. Store
them in a cool place, well covered.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be
covered and may be placed on any shelf. Fruit and
vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and
placed in the vegetable drawer.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door. Bananas, potatoes,
onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from
the socket or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker
or fuse.
Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with
a cloth and lukewarm water. After cleaning wipe with
fresh water and rub dry.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases
energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean
the condenser at the back of the appliance once a
year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Clear the blocked drain hose with the aid of
something like soft green peg, be careful not to
damage the cabinet with sharp objects.
After everything is dry place appliance back into
