Cleaning the appliance
WARNING!
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power mains – switch off the appliance (see
chapter Switching the Appliance On/Off) and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
•
Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners that contain abrasive substances, acids, or solvents
are not suitable for cleaning as they may damage the surface.
Clean the appliance exterior with water or a mild solution of suds.
Lacquer-coated and aluminium surfaces may be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you have
added a mild detergent. Use of cleaners with low alcohol content is allowed (e.g. window cleaners).
Do not use cleaners containing alcohol for cleaning plastic materials.
Appliance interior can be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you can add some vinegar.
•
Do not wash the parts of appliance interior equipment in a dishwasher as they may be damaged.
•
Frost or ice build-up, 3–5 mm thick, will increase power consumption. Therefore, it should be
regularly removed (does not apply to NO FROST freezers). Do not use any sharp objects, solvents,
or sprays.
•
The condenser unit, located next to the compressor unit on the back of the appliance (only with
some models), has to be kept clean, free of dust or other impurities. Occasionally clean it using
a soft non-metal brush or a vacuum cleaner.
•
After cleaning, switch the appliance back on and insert the food.

A gutter and an opening for discharging the water from thawed frost
deposits are located underneath the cooling panel that cools the
refrigerator interior. The gutter and the opening may not be clogged.
Inspect them often and clean if necessary (e.g. with a plastic straw).
