Warning and Safety instructions
Stainless steel appliances
~
Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape
or other types of adhesive on the surface of the door. These
damage the surface, causing it to lose its dirt-repellent protective
coating.
~
The high-quality surface of the door is susceptible to scratching.
Even fridge magnets can cause scratching.
Cleaning and care
~
Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will
cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.
~
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to defrost or clean this
appliance. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
~
Do not use sharp edged objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– lift food.
They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to
the appliance.
~
Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to
defrost it. These can damage the plastic parts.
~
Do not use defrosting sprays or de-icers, as they could contain
substances which could damage the plastic parts and which may
cause the build up of gases and pose a danger to health.
