Cleaning and care
33
Do not let water get into the On/Off
and temperature selector or into the
lighting.
 Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaner can
damage plastic and electrical com-
ponents.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the refrigeration appliance.
Cleaning water must not get into the
drain hole.
The data plate located inside the in-
terior cabinet of the refrigeration appli-
ance must not be removed. It contains
information which is required in the
event of a service call.
Cleaning agents
Cleaning and conditioning agents
used inside the appliance must be
food safe.
To avoid damaging all the surfaces of
your appliance, do not use:
- cleaning agents containing soda, am-
monia, acids or chlorides
- cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
- solvent-based cleaning agents
- stainless steel cleaning agents
- dishwasher cleaner
- oven sprays
- glass cleaning agents
- hard, abrasive sponges and brushes,
e.g. pot scourers
- melamine eraser blocks
- sharp metal scrapers
We recommend using a clean sponge,
lukewarm water with a little washing-up
liquid to clean surfaces of the appli-
ance.
The following pages contain important
information on cleaning.
Preparing the refrigeration ap-
pliance for cleaning
 Switch the refrigeration appliance off.
 Take any food out of the refrigeration
appliance and store it in a cool place.
 Defrost the freezer compartment (de-
pending on model - see Defrosting")
 Take out all other removable parts for
cleaning.
Cleaning the interior and ac-
cessories
The fridge zone should be cleaned
regularly, at least once a month, and
the freezer zone should be cleaned
each time it is defrosted.
Remove soiling immediately to pre-
vent it from drying on.
The best time to do so is when:
- There is very little or no frozen food
left in the freezer zone.
