Cleaning And Maintenance; Troubleshooting - ECG ERT 10860 WE Instruction Manual

Door open indicator - depends on the model.
• The "door open » indicator on the handle shows whether the door is open or has been
properly closed.
If the indicator is red, the door is still open.
•
When the indicator is white, the door is properly closed.
•
• Pay attention to the door so that it is always carefully closed. This prevents defrosting
of food and freezing of the walls of the appliance; increased power consumption is also
a matter of course.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Before you start cleaning the refrigerator, remove the power cord plug from the outlet.
• Carefully wipe the refrigerator with a cloth soaked in a mild detergent solution. Do not use abrasive
cleaners, alkaline cleaners and alkalis, chemical wipes, thinner, alcohol, acids, gasoline cleaners, or hot
water. You could damage the surface finish and plastics.

• If the refrigerator is not used for long periods, unplug the power cord from the outlet, dry the freezer
compartment and carefully close the door.
• Clean the condenser at the rear of the appliance at least once a year. You will increase efficiency and reduce
power consumption.
Defrosting
