Bosch KGS37340 - Manual (Page 20)

Before carrying out a thorough cleaning,
disconnect the unit from the mains, or
unscrew the use.
Clean the refrigerator compartment once a
month. The freezer compartment should be
cleaned after each defrosing.
The water used for cleaning must not reach
either the control unit or the illumination.
Warm water and a weak disinfectant
detergent are recommended for cleanins the
whole unit, with the exception of the door
seal. Do not use abrasive or gritty cleaning
products, acids or chemical solvents.
Clean the door seal with clean water only,
and dry completely afterwards.
Clean the drainage duct regularly, figure
d/11, and the drainpipe, figure d/21, in
order that the defrosted water may run
freely. Open the drainage orifices with a thin
rod or similar object. Take care that the
water used for cleaning the unit does not
run into the drainage orifices to the
evaporation trough.
The exterior walls can be cleaned using a
detergent. Close the door to prevent the
detergent form reaching the plastic parts of
the unit. • Install the unit in a cool or well-ventilated
place, protected from direct sunlight, and
away from any source of heat (radiators,
etc.).
• Leave hot food to cool before placing it in
the unit.
• To defrost frozen products, put them in
the refrigerator compartment. In this way
the cold air given off by the frozen
products will be used to cool the food in
the refrigerator.
• Defrost the freezer compartment when ice
has formed. A thick layer of ice impedes
the passage of cold air to the frozen
products and increases electricity
consumption.
• When introducing or removing food, keep
the door open as short a time as possible.
The less time the door of the unit remains
open, the less ice will form on the shelves
of the freezer.
