Important!
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
– lemon juice or the juice from orange peel;
– butyric acid;
– cleansers which contain acetic acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available
dish washing detergents may also be used.
After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the
condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
After everything is dry, switch to fast-freeze function. After running the appliance for two or three
hours, it is ready again for storing frozen food. Once the frozen food has been placed in the freezer,
return the fast-freeze button to the off position.

If you should ever move house
If the freezer compartment is not fully loaded, pack the frozen food all
together on as few storage levels as possible: drawer (1) and (2).
24 hours before the removal lorry is due to leave switch over to fast-freeze function in order to build up
a reserve of coldness in the frozen items.
Make sure the freezer door cannot come open during transport.
Ensure that the freezer is the last item loaded onto the removal lorry, so that it is the first to be taken
off and can be plugged in again at once.
