NOTICE
Risk of damage!
The surfaces and appliance parts can be
damaged through improper handling.
■ Never use harsh, granular, soda, acid,
solvent-based or abrasive cleaners.
These attack the plastic surfaces.
All-purpose cleaners with a neutral
pH are recommended.
■ Door seals and plastic parts are sen-
sitive to oil and grease. Remove con-
taminants as quickly as possible.
■ Only use soft cloths.
Checking and cleaning 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:
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.

Cleaning the exterior

Painted surfaces
• Use only light pH-neutral soapy water.

Cleaning the reverse side

Remove dust and clean the back of the ap-
pliance and the compressor once or twice a
year.
• Carefully brush the reverse side of the
appliance and the compressor with a soft
brush.

Cleaning the interior

1. Disconnect the mains plug from the sock-
et.
2. Take the chilled food out of the fridge and
take the frozen food out of the freezer.
3. Ensure that your food is kept cool enough.
If you do not have the opportunity to store
the frozen food in another freezer in the
meantime, wrap it up in a thick layer of
newspaper and store it in a cool room or
in an insulated bag while it is defrosting.
4. Remove the drawers (10), (11) and (12) from
the freezer. Wash them in warm water with
washing-up liquid and dry thoroughly.
