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. Always take hold of
the mains plug itself rather than the
mains cord.
CAUTION
Dangers for children and people with
limited physical, sensory or mental ca-
pacity!
Cleaning and user maintenance shall
■
not be made by children without su-
pervision.
NOTICE
The surfaces and appliance parts can
become damaged through unsuitable
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.
Door seals and plastic parts are sen-
■
sitive to oil and grease. Remove con-
taminants as quickly as possible.
Only use soft cloths.
■
Do not wash individual appliance
■
parts in a dishwasher. They are not
dishwasher-safe.
Never spray the appliance with a wa-
■
ter jet (e.g. high-pressure cleaner).
Make sure that no water gets into the
■
electrical parts of the appliance.
Care and maintenance
Checking and cleaning the
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 dirty seals with clean water.
Clean exterior
– Painted surfaces:
Use only light pH-neutral soapy water.
– Stainless steel surfaces: Use special stain-
less steel cleaner from a specialist shop.
Never use polish.
Defrosting
The fridge and freezer remain ice-free thanks
to the air-cooling. Defrosting is not necessary;
it occurs automatically.
