trol to the off state.
If the appliance is out of use for long periods:
 Remove the appliance content.
 Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
 Defrost (model dependent) and clean the device
thoroughly (see "Cleaning and Maintenance").

of mold and unpleased odor.
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
the 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 unit 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.

Cleaning the appliance including interior
 Clean the appliance interior, the exterior surfaces,
the accessories and the door seal regularly with

Never use metal objects (e.g. knifes) to remove ice
from the evaporator. Otherwise it can be damaged.

the appliance regularly as follows:
 To start the defrosting process, disconnect the
appliance from the power supply.
