Cleaning and care
Preparing the appliance for
cleaning
Switch the appliance off.
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Switch off at the wall and
withdraw the plug from the socket, or
switch off the mains fuse board.
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
Defrost the freezer section (see "De-
frosting").
Take out all other removable parts for
cleaning.
Cleaning the interior and ac-
cessories
The refrigeration appliance should be
defrosted and cleaned regularly, or at
least twice a year.
Remove soiling immediately to pre-
vent it from drying on.
The best time to do so is when:
– There is very little or no frozen food
left in the freezer zone.
– The humidity level in the room is low
and the ambient temperature in the
room is also low (cooler part of the
year).
Clean the interior with a clean
sponge, lukewarm water and a little
washing-up liquid.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.

Leave the door open to air the appli-
ance for a short while and to prevent
odours building up.
The following parts cannot be cleaned
in a dishwasher:
– the freezer drawers
– the shelves
These accessories should all be hand
washed.
The ice cube tray is dishwasher-safe.
Risk of damage as a result of ex-
cessively high dishwasher temperat-
ures.
Parts of the refrigeration appliance
may become unusable, e.g. deform,
if they are washed in the dishwasher
at more than 55 °C.
For dishwasher-safe parts, only use
dishwasher programmes with a max-
imum temperature of 55 °C.
Contact with natural dyes from car-
rots, tomatoes and ketchup, etc., may
discolour the plastic parts in the dish-
washer. This discolouration does not
affect the stability of the parts.
Cleaning the front of the appli-
ance and the side panels
If soiling is left on for any length of
time, it may become impossible to
remove. Surfaces may suffer discol-
ouration or damage.
Therefore, it is best to remove soiling
from the appliance front and side
panels immediately.
