Cleaning and care
 Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will
cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean or defrost this
appliance.
Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
 Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp
edged or pointed objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.
 Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to
defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
 Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they could contain
substances which could damage the plastic parts or which might
cause the build-up of gases and pose a danger to health.
 Rinse the ice cube maker and the water pipes:
– before using for the first time,
– if the ice cube maker has not been used for a long time,
– regularly when in continuous use (at least once a month), to
remove ice residues from the system (to avoid a blockage of the
water supply) and
– before switching the ice cube maker off for a long time.
 Rinse the ice cube maker by filling the water container with hand-
hot drinking water only. Do not use hot or boiling water. Do not add
any detergents such as washing-up liquid.
