MAINTENANCE and

CLEANING

Removing the ventilation grille

The ventilation grille can be removed,
e.g. to wash the grille.
Make sure the door is open when
removing the ventilation grille. Unsnap
the upper edge of the grille by pulling
outward/downward. Then pull the grille
straight out to completely remove it.
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet at regular intervals.
Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with
warm water and bicarbonate of soda
(5ml to 0,5 litre water) Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
External Cleaning
Use water/neutral soap emulsion for
cleaning the surface of stainless steel,
anti-finger-print coated. Do NOT use
abrasive paste.
Remove the ventilation grille (see the
section "Removing the ventilation
13
grille") and vacuum-clean under the
cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the
condenser (black grille) and the
compressor at the back of the
appliance, with a brush or vacuum
cleaner, as an accumulation of dust
will affect the performance of the
appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.
When moving the cabinet, lift it by the
front edge to avoid scratching the floor.

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always
form on the freezer shelves and around
the top compartment. Defrost the
freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of about 3-5 mm.
Remove the freezer drawers and place
them on top of each other by turning
every other drawer one half turn. Put
insulating material around the drawers,
e.g. blankets or newspapers.
The frozen products can also be
packed closely together and be kept in
a cold location, e.g. in the fridge.
