Cleaning the appliance including interior
To keep dirt and germs at bay, clean the appliance
regularly!
• First clear out the contents of the appliance and
store it in a cool place. Remove all moving parts
such as shelves or drawers.
• Clean the interior of the appliance, the exterior
surfaces and the accessories with lukewarm wa-
ter and a mild cleaning agent; or with a clean,
damp microfiber cloth without cleaning agent.
• After everything has dried thoroughly, you can put
the appliance back into operation.
•
Depending on the model:
At least once a year,
wipe off the dust that has accumulated on the rear
wall of the unit and on the condenser (metal
grille). Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner for
this purpose.
Cleaning / replacing the door seal
Regularly check the seal for dirt, damage and air
tightness!
Checking the seal for air tightness
• Clamp a thin piece of paper at various points for
testing. The paper must be equally difficult to pull
through at all points.
Cleaning the gasket
• Clean the gasket with clear water only!
• CAUTION, grease and oil makes the seal porous
and brittle. Wipe up grease or oil immediately with
a damp, clean cloth.
Replacing the seal
• Remove the contents of the appliance and, if
necessary, defrost the unit. Pay attention to how
the old gasket is attached. Most gaskets are only
plugged in.
• Remove the worn gasket rubber by removing it
from the groove. Carefully clean the appliance
door and the groove below the rubber and re-
move any adhesive residue.
• Attach the new rubber. If necessary, heat the
rubber seal with a hair dryer or hot water and
shape it by hand. Start pressing the gasket in one
corner and then press it around the door into the
groove provided for this purpose.
• Continue to check the seal regularly for dirt and
damage!
Defrosting
CAUTION:
Never use metal objects (e.g. knifes) to remove ice
from the evaporator. Otherwise it can be damaged.
To achieve better cooling and to save energy, defrost
the appliance
regularly.
• To start the defrosting process, turn the tempera-
ture control to the off state and disconnect the
appliance from the power supply.
• Remove the appliance content and keep covered
at a cool location.
• Once the ice has melted, empty the condensation
drip tray below the chilling compartment; wipe up
the condensation water and dry the unit interior.
• Then you may restart the appliance by connecting
the plug and turning the temperature control.
Changing the light
CAUTION:
Do NOT remove the cover of the light. The LED light
may be replaced / repaired in case of failure / defect
only by an authorized specialist.
