Tips for energy saving
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply if
it isn't in use.
• Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters
or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient
temperatures, the compressor will run more fre-
quently and longer.
• Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear
side. Never block ventilation openings.
• Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on
model) in their original position.
• Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary.
• Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the
appliance.
• Open the appliance door only as necessary.
• Defrost the unit regularly (model dependent).
• The seal of the appliance door must be complete-
ly intact, so that the door closes properly.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING:
• Always disconnect the appliance from the power
supply before cleaning and user maintenance.
• Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appli-
ance; moisture could enter electrical components.
Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage
the plastic parts.
• The unit must be dry before restarting operation.
CAUTION:
• Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive
items.
• Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Cleaning the appliance including interior
To keep dirt and germs at bay, clean the appliance
regularly!
• First clear out the contents of the appliance and
store it in a cool place. Remove all moving parts
such as shelves and drawers.
• Clean the interior of the appliance, the exterior
surfaces and the accessories with lukewarm wa-
ter and a mild cleaning agent; or with a clean,
damp microfiber cloth without cleaning agent.
• Clean the thaw water discharge channel / opening
carefully e.g. with a pipe cleaner.
• After everything has dried thoroughly, you can put
the appliance back into operation.
Depending on the model:
•
wipe off the dust that has accumulated on the rear
wall of the unit and on the condenser (metal
grille). Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner for
this purpose.
Cleaning / replacing the door seal
Regularly check the seal for dirt, damage and air
tightness!
Checking the seal for air tightness
• Clamp a thin piece of paper at various points for
testing. The paper must be equally difficult to pull
through at all points.
Cleaning the gasket
• Clean the gasket with clear water only!
• CAUTION, grease and oil makes the seal porous
and brittle. Wipe up grease or oil immediately with
a damp, clean cloth.
Replacing the seal
• Remove the contents of the appliance and, if
necessary, defrost the unit. Pay attention to how
the old gasket is attached. Most gaskets are only
plugged in.
• Remove the worn gasket rubber by removing it
from the groove. Carefully clean the appliance
door and the groove below the rubber and re-
move any adhesive residue.
