expand as they freeze, which might cause the
bottles to burst.
Care and maintenance
Cleaning the outside walls and doors
Caution!
Only use cleaning agents on the outside sur-
faces. Do not use any caustic or scouring de-
tergents or sponges to clean the appliance.
They might damage the surfaces.
Only clean the outside walls and door using a •
moist cloth and some universal cleaning agent;
wipe again with a dry cloth.
Defrosting the fridge compartment
This is not necessary as the fridge compartment
has an automatic defrosting function. Frost and ice
are defrosted automatically and the resulting water
is collected in a condensate tray on the rear of the
appliance. The heat of the motor causes the water
to evaporate.
Make sure that the water can drain through the •
hole without being obstructed. Use the clean-
ing rod 15 to remove any dirt that collects in the
drainage hole (see illustration Q).
Cleaning the fridge compartment
Caution!
As the interior walls are sensitive to scratch-
ing and to heat, do not use any tools such as
ice scrapers, heat radiators or similar equip-
ment to remove ice that has formed.
The door seal can be damaged by oil and
grease, which make the rubber porous and
brittle and cause the door seal to leak. Ac-
cordingly, only use clean water to clean the
door seal.
Detergents containing sand, soda or acid
are absolutely unsuitable. Universal cleaners
with a neutral pH value are recommended.
Make sure that no water used for cleaning
penetrates into the ventilation slots, the elec-
trical parts and the drainage hole.
1. Set the temperature regulator 4 to "0".
2. Pull the mains plug.
3. Remove the refrigerated products and put
them in a cool place.
4. Remove the drawer, the door racks and the
shelves and clean them in lukewarm water with
some washing-up liquid. Adding some vinegar
is useful to prevent mould (cleaning vinegar,
common vinegar or vinegar essence).
5. Clean the drainage hole using the cleaning rod
15 (see illustration Q)
6. Wipe the surfaces again using clean water.
7. Wipe everything dry and leave the door open
for some time to ventilate the compartment.
8. Replace the shelves and the drawer and put
the refrigerated products back into the fridge
compartment.
9. Put the plug back into the wall socket and set
the temperature regulator 4 to the setting of
your choice.
