Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

Duringcleaningandmaintenanceitisnecessarytodisconnectthe

appliancefromtheelectricitysupply.

Itisnotsufficienttosetthetemperatureadjustmentknobson

OFF

(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.

Cleaning the appliance

• Theexternalandinternalparts,aswellastherubbersealsmaybe

cleanedusingaspongethathasbeensoakedinlukewarmwater

andbicarbonateofsodaorneutralsoap.Donotusesolvents,

thatthewatercanflowouteasily.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

Ifthefrostlayerisgreaterthan5mm,itisnecessarytodefrost
