Warning and safety Instructions
Stainless steel appliances
~
Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape
or other types of adhesive on the surface of the door. These will
damage the surface coating, causing it to lose its resistance to dirt
and grime.
~
The high-quality surface coating on the door is susceptible to
scratching. Even refrigerator magnets can cause scratching.
Cleaning and care
~
Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals.
They will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous over
time.
~
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean or defrost this appliance.
Steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
~
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects to:
– Remove frost or ice, or
– Detach food items frozen to the walls.
This will damage the evaporator, causing the appliance to no longer
function properly.
~
Do not place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to
defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
~
Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they might contain
substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could
cause a buildup of gases and pose a danger to health.
