Cleaning
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior,
including interior accessories, should be
cleaned regularly.
Caution! The appliance may not be con-
nected to the mains during cleaning. Dan-
ger of electrical shock! Before cleaning turn
the appliance off and remove the plug from
the mains, or switch off or turn out the
circuit breaker or fuse. Never clean the
appliance with a steam cleaner.
Moisture could accumulate in electrical
components, danger of electrical shock!
Hot vapors can lead to the damage of
plastic parts. The appliance must be dry
before it is placed back into service.
Important! Ethereal oils and organic sol-
vents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon
juice or the juice form orange peel, butyric
acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into
contact the appliance parts.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners

increases energy consumption. For this
reason carefully clean the condenser at the
back of the appliance once a year with a
soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. After eve-
rything is dry place appliance back into
service.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will
become progressively covered with frost.
This should be removed.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off
frost from the evaporator as you could
damage it.
However, when the ice becomes very thick
on the inner liner, complete defrosting
should be carried out as follows:
• pull out the plug from the socket;
• remove all stored food, wrap it in sev-
eral layers of newspaper and put it in a
cool place;
• keep the door open, and placing a basin
underneath of the appliance to collect
the defrost water; when defrosting is
completed, dry the interior thoroughly
• replace the plug in the power socket to
run the appliance again.
