Cleaning the appliance

m
Caution
Do not use abrasive, chloride or acidic
■
cleaning agents or solvents.
Do not use scouring or abrasive
■
sponges.
The metallic surfaces could corrode.
Never clean shelves and containers
■
in the dishwasher.
The parts may become deformed!
Note
Approx. 4 hours before cleaning
the appliance, switch on super freezing
so that the food drops to a very low
temperature and can therefore be stored
at room temperature for a longer period.
Proceed as follows:
1. Before cleaning: Switch the appliance
off.
2. Pull out the mains plug or switch off
the fuse.
3. Take out the frozen food and store
in a cool location. Place the ice pack
(if enclosed) on the food.
4. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth,
lukewarm water and a little pH neutral
washing-up liquid.
5. Wipe the door seal with clear water
only and then wipe dry thoroughly.
6. After cleaning reconnect and switch
the appliance back on.
7. Put the frozen food back in the freezer
compartment.

Tips for saving energy

Install the appliance in a dry, well
■
ventilated room! The appliance should
not be installed in direct sunlight
or near a heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker).
If required, use an insulating plate.
Do not block the ventilation openings
■
in the appliance.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool
■
down before placing in the appliance.
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator
■
compartment and use the low
temperature of the frozen food to cool
refrigerated food.
Open the appliance as briefly as
■
possible.
Ensure that the freezer compartment
■
door is always closed properly.
To avoid increased power
■
consumption, occasionally clean the
back of the appliance.
If available:
■
Fit wall spacers to obtain the indicated
energy rating of the appliance (see
Installation instructions). A reduced
wall gap will not restrict the function
of the appliance. The energy rating
may then increase slightly. The gap
of 75 mm must not be exceeded.
The arrangement of the fittings does
■
not affect the energy rating of the
appliance.
