CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

556532

Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power mains – switch off the appliance

(see chapter Switching the Appliance On/Off) and unplug the power cord from the wall

outlet.

• Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners that contain abrasive substances, acids,

or solvents are not suitable for cleaning as they may damage the surface.

Clean the appliance exterior with water or a mild solution of suds. Lacquer-coated and

aluminium surfaces may be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you have added a mild

detergent. Use of cleaners with low alcohol content is allowed (e.g. window cleaners).

Do not use cleaners containing alcohol for cleaning plastic materials.

Appliance interior can be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you can add some

vinegar.

• A gutter and an opening through which

the water from thawed ice ﬂ ows are

located underneath the cooling panel that

cools the refrigerator interior. The gutter

and the opening may not be clogged.

Inspect them often and clean if necessary

(e.g. with a plastic straw).

• Frost or ice build-up, 3-5 mm thick, will

increase power consumption. Therefore, it

should be regularly removed. Do not use

any sharp objects, solvents, or sprays.

• To vacuum the dust from the condenser

unit:

- Remove the cabinet kickplate.

- Reach into the openings on the

switchboard and release the latch.

- Pull the plate towards you and remove it.

- Pull out the condensate tray.

- Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust

from the condenser unit.

- Replace the condensate tray and the

switchboard by observing the reverse

order.

• After cleaning, switch the appliance back

on and insert the food.
