• Ensure sufficient ventilation at the bottom and rear side. Never block ventilation openings.
• Allow warm dishes to cool down before putting into the appliance.
• Do not adjust the temperature colder than necessary.
• Do not open the door longer than necessary.
• The seal of the appliance door must be completely intact, so that the door closes properly.

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING:

• Always turn off the appliance and disconnect the plug or turn off / unscrew the fuse before cleaning and user maintenance.
• Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appliance; moisture could enter electrical components. Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage the plastic parts.
• The appliance must be dry before restarting operation.

△ CAUTION:

Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive temperature items.

- Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.

- Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Cleaning the appliance including interior

- Clean the appliance interior, the exterior surfaces, the accessories and the door seal regularly with warm water and mild detergent.

• Remove for that the appliance content and storage at a cool location.
• Clean the thaw water discharge channel / opening carefully e.g. with a pipe cleaner.
  • After everything was thoroughly dried, you can restart the operation.

DefrostingDefrosting

The appliance has an automatic defrosting system. During defrosting water drops drains off at the back of the cooling chamber. The thaw water running through a channel, is collected in a drip tray located on the compressor, where it will evaporate. Make sure the water discharge opening does not get clogged. A light formation of ice on the interior back during operation is normal.

CAUTIONCAUTION

Never use metal objects (e.g. knives) to remove ice from the evaporator. Otherwise it can be damaged. A defect evaporator can cause serious damage.
