Caution: store different types of food according to the instructions on the compartments or the recommended storage
temperature of the products you bought.
- If the appliance remains empty for a longer period of time, switch it off, defrost, clean and dry it and leave the door open to
prevent the formation of mould in the appliance.
Cleaning the water dispenser (specifically for products with water dispenser):
- Clean the water tanks if they have not been used for 48 hours; fully flush the water system if no water has been tapped
for 5 days.
WARNING – Package food in bags and liquids in bottles or other leak-proof packagings. As a result, the refrigerator requires
less cleaning.
Regularly clean the freezer to guarantee a proper function. Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off by switching off
the thermostat [0] and removing the plug from the wall socket.
DEFROSTING
Defrost the appliance when the layer of ice has reached a thickness of 3 to 5 mm.
Remove the plug from the socket. Remove all food from the freezer.
Store any frozen products on a cool location, packaged in newspapers and blankets.
Place a receptacle under the appliance and wait for the ice to defrost. Defrosting can be accelerated by placing a tray with hot
water in the appliance.
Remove ice using a plastic ice scraper.
Warning: Never remove ice with sharp objects, defrosting sprays, a hair dryer, a heater or something similar. This could lead
to unsafe situations and cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
Clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with a neutral cleaning agent to prevent nasty smells. Wipe the inside
of the freezer after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. The
drawers can be removed from the freezer easily and washed by hand. The components may not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
For areas in the freezer that are difficult to clean, such as small openings or corners, it is recommended wiping them clean
regularly with a soft cloth or brush. If necessary, a tool can be used, such as thin sticks (cocktail sticks, for example), to make
sure no contamination can occur in these areas.
Clean the outside of the freezer and the door rubbers with a soft damp cloth.
Clean the rear of the freezer at least one per year with a vacuum cleaner so that the condenser and ventilation holes remain
clean and the freezer is able to function as optimal as possible.
Do not use hard brushes, steel wool, abrasives (such as toothpaste), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, oil, etc.),
boiling water, acid or alkaline product to clean the freezer, as this could damage the surface and interior of the freezer. Boiling
water and benzene could deform or damage plastic components.
