Cleaning the appliance including interior
To keep dirt and germs at bay, clean the appliance
regularly!
• First clear out the contents of the appliance and
store it in a cool place. Remove all moving parts
such as shelves or drawers.
• Clean the interior of the appliance, the exterior
surfaces and the accessories with lukewarm wa-
ter and a mild cleaning agent; or with a clean,
damp microfiber cloth without cleaning agent.
• After everything has dried thoroughly, you can put
the appliance back into operation.
Depending on the model:

wipe off the dust that has accumulated on the rear
wall of the unit and on the condenser (metal
grille). Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner for
this purpose.
Cleaning / replacing the door seal
Regularly check the seal for dirt, damage and air
tightness!
At least once a year,
Checking the seal for air tightness
• Clamp a thin piece of paper at various points for
testing. The paper must be equally difficult to pull
through at all points.
Cleaning the gasket
• Clean the gasket with clear water only!
• CAUTION, grease and oil makes the seal porous
and brittle. Wipe up grease or oil immediately with
a damp, clean cloth.
Replacing the seal
• Remove the contents of the appliance and, if
necessary, defrost the unit. Pay attention to how
the old gasket is attached. Most gaskets are only
plugged in.
• Remove the worn gasket rubber by removing it
from the groove. Carefully clean the appliance
door and the groove below the rubber and re-
move any adhesive residue.
• Attach the new rubber. If necessary, heat the
rubber seal with a hair dryer or hot water and
shape it by hand. Start pressing the gasket in one
corner and then press it around the door into the
groove provided for this purpose.
• Continue to check the seal regularly for dirt and
damage!

matic NoFrost system. Defrosting is not necessary.
