During cleaning, the device must not be connected to the socket. Electric shock hazard! Before cleaning, switch off the device and pull the plug out of the socket.

exterior cleaning

To keep your device looking good, you should clean it regularly.

• Spray water onto a cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly onto the surface of the device. This contributes to an even distribution of moisture on the surface.
• Clean the doors, handles, and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent, then wipe dry with a soft cloth.

ATTENTION

• Do not use sharp objects to clean as they are likely to scratch the surface.
• Do not use thinner, car wash, bleach, essential oils, abrasives, or organic solvents such as benzene for cleaning. They can damage the surface of the device and cause a fire.

interior cleaning

You should clean the interior of the device regularly. It's easier to clean when food supplies are low. Wipe out the inside of the refrigerator with a weak solution of baking soda and water, then rinse with warm water and a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe dry completely before replacing shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and detachable parts before reassembling. Although this appliance defrosts automatically, a layer of frost may form on the inside walls of the freezer if the freezer door is opened frequently or left open too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time when the freezer compartment is almost empty and do the following:

1. Remove existing food and accessory baskets, unplug unit and leave doors open. Ventilate the room thoroughly to speed up the process.

2. When defrost is complete, clean your freezer as above.

WARNING

Do not use sharp objects to remove frost from the freezer compartment. Only when the interior is completely dry should the device be switched on again and connected to the socket again.

Helpful hints and tips

Tips for saving energy

We recommend that you follow the energy-saving tips below.

• Try not to leave the door open too long to save energy. Make sure the device is away from heat sources (direct sunlight, electric ovens or stoves, etc.)
• Do not set the temperature colder than necessary.
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the device.
• Place the device in a well-ventilated, moisture-free room. Please read the chapter "Installing your new device".
• If the diagram shows the correct combination of drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is the most energy efficient configuration.

Instructions for cooling fresh food

• Do not place hot food directly in the fridge or freezer as the internal temperature will rise, causing the compressor to work harder and consuming more energy.
• Cover or wrap the food, especially if it has a strong flavor.
• Place food so that air can circulate freely around it. Notes on cooling
• For meat: (all types) wrap in cling film and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow the food storage times and best before dates recommended by manufacturers.
• Cooked food, cold food, etc.: They should be placed covered on any shelf.
• Fruits and vegetables: They should be kept in the drawer provided for this purpose.
• Butter and Cheese: Should be wrapped in airtight foil or plastic wrap.
