Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING:
 Always disconnect the appliance from the power
supply before cleaning and user maintenance.
 Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appli-
ance; moisture could enter electrical components.
Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage
the plastic parts.
 The unit must be dry before restarting operation.
CAUTION:
 Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive
items.
 Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
 Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Cleaning the appliance including interior
 Clean the appliance interior, the exterior surfaces,
the accessories and the door seal regularly with
warm water and mild detergent; or with a clean,
damp microfiber cloth without cleaning agent.
 Remove the appliance content and storage it at a
cool location.
 Clean the thaw water discharge channel / opening
carefully e.g. with a pipe cleaner.
 After everything was thoroughly dried, you can
restart the operation.
Depending on model:

the dust that has accumulated on the appliance
back and condenser (metal grille). To do this, use
a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Wipe at least once a year
Defrosting
CAUTION:
Never use metal objects (e.g. knifes) to remove ice
from the evaporator. Otherwise it can be damaged.
The fridge compartment has a semi-automatic de-
frosting system. During defrosting water drops drains
off at the back of the cooling chamber. The thaw
water running through a channel, is collected in a
drip tray located on the compressor, where it will
evaporate. Make sure the water discharge opening
does not get clogged. A light formation of ice on the
interior back during operation is normal.
A permanently high power level can lead to in-
creased ice formation. In this case, the fridge com-
partment can be defrosted manually
power level.
To achieve better cooling and to save energy, defrost
the freezer regular manually as follows:
 To start the defrosting process, turn the tempera-
ture control to the off state and disconnect the
plug or turn off the fuse.
 Remove the food items and keep covered at a
cool location.
 When the ice has melted, wipe the condensate
away and dry the appliance interior.
 Then you may restart the appliance by connecting
the plug and adjusting the power level.
Changing the bulb
CAUTION:
Do NOT remove the cover of the light. The LED light
may be replaced / repaired in case of failure / defect
only by an authorized specialist.
