Switching off
To switch off the appliance disconnect it from the
power supply.
If the appliance is out of use for long periods:
• Remove the appliance content.
• Defrost (model dependent) and clean the appli-
ance thoroughly (see
”Cleaning and mainte-
nance”
).
• Leave open the appliance door to avoid formation
of mold and unpleased odors.
Tips for energy saving
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply if
it isn’t in use.
• Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters
or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient
temperatures, the compressor will run more fre-
quently and longer.
• Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear
side. Never block ventilation openings.
• Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on
the model) in their original position.
• Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary.
• Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the
appliance.
• Open the appliance door only as necessary.
• Defrost the unit regularly (model dependent).
• The seal of the appliance door must be complete-
ly intact, so that the door closes properly.
Cleaning and maintenance

• Always disconnect the appliance from the power
supply before cleaning and user maintenance.
• Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appli-
ance; moisture could enter electrical components.
Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage
the plastic parts.
• The unit must be dry before restarting operation.
CAUTION:
• Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive
items.
• Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
