packaging. Therefore, strictly observe the producer's

Cleaning and maintenance

For the upkeep of the external appearance of your
appliance, now and again clean with furniture polish or
other enamel protecting product (never, on any
account, use it in the inside. Clean the seal (B) with
warm water now and again without using any cleaning
product.
If your appliance has a condenser (R) in the rear inside,
from time to time remove dirt and dust. Dust and dirt
impede the release of heat from the inner compartment
and considerably increases consumption of energy.
For best results, use a light brush or duster to remove
dust from the condenser on the rear wall.
If you leave your appliance out of use for an extended
period (e.g. when on holidays), leave it open to prevent
odours building up inside. For appliances with locks:
when the chest lid is open, always set the lock in
"closed" position and keep the key well away from small
children to prevent accidents.
Care is required with regard to frozen food in storage
in the event of an extended non-running of the freezer
(interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating
system). A rise in temperature of the frozen food could
shorten the storage life.
When ice and frost layers form on the inner walls up
to a certain thickness, they act as an insulation element
and prevent the coldness being released from the inner
walls. They must be removed from time to time.
To remove ice from the inner walls, use a plastic or
wood scraper without sharp edges.
Cover the frozen food with a cloth which aids to collect
the scraped ice and enables a simple removal.
