Exterior cleaning
  • Wipe the control panel with a clean, soft cloth.
  •  Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the appliance. This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface.
  • Clean the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Caution!

  • Don’t use sharp objects as they are likely to scratch the surface.
  • Don’t use thinner, car shampoo, bleach, essential oils, abrasive cleansers or organic solvents such as benzene for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the appliance and may cause fire.
lnterior cleaning

You should clean the appliance interior regularly. Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts. Although this appliance automatically defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the freezer compartment’s interior of the door is opened frequently or kept open for too long. lf the frost is too thick, choose a time when the supply of food stocks
are low and proceed as follows:

  1. Remove existing food and accessory baskets, unplug the appliance from the power socket and leave the doors open. Ventilate the room thoroughly to accelerate the thawing process.
  2.  When defrosting is completed, clean your freezer as described above.
    Caution!
    Don’t use sharp objects to remove frost from the freezer compartment. Only after the interior is completely dry should the appliance be switched back on and plugged back into the power socket.
Cleaning the door seals

Take care to keep the door seals clean. Sticky food and drinks can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash seals with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
Caution! Only after the door seals are completely dry should the appliance be powered on.
Replacing the LED light:

• Warning: The LED light should be replaced by a competent person! lf the LED light is damaged, contact the customer helpline for assistance.

Defrosting

Why do you need to defrost?

• Water from food or moist air that enters the fridge when the doors are opened may form a frost layer inside. If the frost is thick it will interfere with refrigeration. When it is more than 10 mm thick, you should defrost. Defrosting fresh food storage compartment Defrosting is automatically controlled by switching the temperature regulator on or off, so there is no need to defrost this compartment. Water from defrosting drains into a drip tray through a drain pipe at the back of the fridge automatically.

Defrosting frozen food storage compartment
  • The freezer chamber must be defrosted manually. Before defrosting, take the food out.
  •  Take the ice tray out and remove the food from the drawers or put it in the fresh food compartment temporarily.
  • Set the temperature regulator knob to the “0” setting (to stop the compressor) and leave the door of the refrigerator open until ice and frost melt completely and collect at the bottom of the freezer chamber. Wipe off the water with a soft cloth.
  •  To speed up the defrosting process, you can put a bowl of warm water (about 50°C) into the freezer chamber, and scrape away the ice and frost with a defrosting spatula. After doing so, be sure to set the temperature regulator knob to the original setting.
  • It is not advisable to heat the freezer chamber directly with hot water or a hair dryer to speed up defrosting, as this could deform the interior of the compartment.
  • It is also inadvisable to use sharp tools or wooden implements to scrape off ice and frost or separate food containers that have stuck together, as this could damage the interior of the compartment or the surface of the evaporator.
    Warning! Switch off the appliance before defrosting, and turn the temperature regulator to the “0” setting.
    Important! The fridge should be defrosted at least once every month. If the door is opened frequently during use, or if the appliance is used in very humid conditions, we advise the user to defrost every two weeks.
If the appliance is unused for a long time
  • Remove all refrigerated packages.
  • Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to the “0” setting.
  • Unplug the appliance from the power socket or switch off or disconnect the electricity supply.
  • Clean thoroughly (see section on “Cleaning and Care”).
  •  Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
    Note: lf the appliance has a freezer compartment.
