    • Proceed as follows:
  • Cleaning the appliance
    • m Caution
    • ■ Do not use abrasive, chloride or acidic cleaning agents or solvents.
    • ■ Do not use scouring or abrasive sponges. The metallic surfaces could corrode.
    • ■ Never clean the shelves or containers in the dishwasher. The parts may become deformed!
  • Tips for saving energy
    • ■ Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room! The appliance should not be installed in direct sunlight or near a heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker).
    • If required, use an insulating plate.
    • ■ Select 560 mm cavity depth.
    • A smaller cavity depth will result in a higher energy consumption.
    • ■ Do not block the ventilation openings in the appliance.
    • ■ The ice packs slow down the thawing process of the frozen food in the event of a power failure or malfunction. Place the ice packs directly on the food in the top compartment.
    • ■ Open the appliance as briefly as possible!
    • The briefer the appliance door is opened, the lower the ice formation on the freezer shelves.
    • ■ Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment and use the low temperature of the frozen food to cool refrigerated food.
    • ■ Regularly defrost the freezer compartment to remove the layer of frost.
    • A layer of hoarfrost will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increase power consumption.
    • ■ Occasionally clean the rear of the appliance to prevent an increased power consumption.
    • ■ The arrangement of the fittings does not affect the energy rating of the appliance.
