Care and cleaning

Warning! Refer to Safety
chapters.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.

detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning
products or wax polishes to clean
the interior as this will damage
the surface and leave a strong

electricity consumption.
• Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: these need a cap and should be
stored on the door bottle shelf, or (if
equipped) on the bottle rack.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.

prevent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside. Use the special
