Cleaning
Unplug the appliance before you clean it.
We recommend that you regularly clean and disinfect your appliance.
1.
Remove the fresh and frozen food from the appliance. Wrap the frozen food in several
layers of newspaper, cover and store in a cool place.
2.
Lift the door shelves upwards as shown in the figure
opposite to remove them from the appliance before
cleaning them.
3.
As the shelves are equipped with a stop at the
back to stabilize them on the appliance, lift
them up slightly and then pull them forward
as shown in the figure below to remove them
before cleaning.
4.
Clean the fridge and freezer compartments with a soft sponge dipped in a solution of
bicarbonate of soda and warm water.
5.
Clean the accessories with a soft sponge and warm soapy water.
6.
Rinse with fresh water and dry carefully after cleaning.
7.
Remove the accumulated dust from the rear of the appliance at least once a year. Use
a soft brush, electrostatic cloth or vacuum cleaner to do so.
8.
The appliance can be turned back on once everything is clean and dry.
Never use abrasive or caustic cleaning
products or scrub sponges to clean the interior
or exterior of your appliance.

cleaning and maintenance
•
Make sure that no water gets into the light housing or other electrical parts.
•
Regularly inspect the door seals to check that they are clean and not harbouring any food
particles. It is important to keep the door seals clean at all times. Clean them with hot
water and dry thoroughly.
•
Do not use hot water to clean the glass shelves if they are cold. There is a risk that the
glass will shatter because of the sudden change in temperature which could cause injury
and serious damage.
•
IMPORTANT: Never put oil or oily dishes in the refrigerator in open containers as the fatty
substances can damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. If you spill or splash oil on
the plastic surfaces, clean it up and immediately wash the affected parts with hot water.
Defrosting
•
The refrigerator and freezer compartments are ventilated and defrost automatically.
Cleaning the water tank and dispenser
The water tank should be cleaned regularly (once a month) to prevent unpleasant odours or
an unpleasant taste in the water. Do not leave water in the tank for too long.
Stop
1.
Remove the water tank by grasping it on both sides and lifting it gently.
2.
Remove the cover of the water tank to be able to clean it effectively.
3.
Wash the different parts with clear water and without detergent. If necessary, you can
wipe the tank with a cloth soaked in white vinegar. Rinse with clean water and dry
carefully. None of the parts are dishwasher safe.
•
Wipe the water outlet of the dispenser frequently with a clean, lint-free cloth, as it could
get dirty easily.
•
Wipe the area underneath the water dispenser with a clean cloth if water is present.
