CLEANING / REPLACING THE DOOR SEAL
Regularly check the seal for dirt, damage and air tightness!
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 remove 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!
DEFROSTING
CAUTION:
Never use metal objects (e.g. knifes) to remove ice from the evaporator. Otherwise, it can be
damaged.
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 increased ice formation → set a lower power level and
wipe the interior dry.
CHANGING THE LIGHT
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.
