Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
Warning!
• The appliance must not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before
cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the
circuit breaker or fuse.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components
and there is a danger of an electric shock. Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
• The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Important!
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
– lemon juice or the juice from orange peel;
– butyric acid;
– cleansers which contain acetic acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
Remove frozen food and wrap it in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well covered.
Defrost the appliance prior to cleaning (see “Defrosting” section).
Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available
dish washing detergents may also be used.
After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge, once a year remove the ventilation grille at the base and
clean the air channels with a vacuum cleaner.
After everything is dry, switch to fast freeze. After running the appliance for two or three hours, it is
ready again for storing frozen food.

Magnetic door seal
After opening and closing the door of your freezer you will not be able to open the door again immedi-
ately. This is because a vacuum will have developed inside, keeping the door closed until the pressures
inside and outside the door have equalised. After a few minutes you can easily reopen the door.
