Cleaning

Before cleaning, make it a rule to unplug
the appliance and/or disengage the fuse.
Use luke-warm water with a little
desinfectant and washing-up liquid to clean
the entire appliance, except for the door
seal. Never use sand, abrasive cleansers or
acids, e.g. chemical solvents.
Clean the door seal (Figure a/18) with clear
water and dry thoroughly afterwards.
Do not allow cleaning water to get into the
temperature selector.
The discharge gutter (Figure k/7) and the
discharge outlet (Figure k/19) should be
cleaned more frequently to ensure that
thawwater can drain unhindered. Pierce the
discharge outlet with a toothpick or similar
object to get it clean. Try to prevent cleaning
water from getting into discharge outlet and
running through to the evaporating plate.
In you so wish, you may additionally use a
standard furniture polish to clean the outer
cabinet panels. Ensure that the door of the
appliance is closed while doing this, to
prevent the polish from getting to the door
seal or to the plastic parts inside the
appliance.

Energy saving tips
• Install appliance in a cool and well
ventilated room, do not expose to direct
sunlight and keep away from heat
sources (radiators, cookers etc.).
• Allow warm food and beverages to cool
down before storing in the appliance.
• When defrosting, place the deep-frozen
goods inside the refrigerator. The cold
loss from the frozen goods can be
effectively used-up to assist the cooling
process inside the refrigerator.
• Allow freezer compartment to thaw out
when ice has built-up. A thick coat of
ice adversely affects the cold
transmission to the frozen goods and
causes the rate of energy consumption
to increase.
• When putting in or taking out food,
avoid keeping the door of the appliance
open for too long.
