Prior to any cleaning. Please disconnect the 
appliance from the mains 
(turn the thermostat 
button to the position   and pull the power cord 
from the mains outlet). Special antibacterial 
protection in top layer of inner walls prevents 
growth of bacteria and maintains the interior clean 
and germ free. Make sure to remove traces of any 
cleaning agents you had been using.
 Clean the exterior of the appliance with water 
and mild liquid detergent.
 For cleaning of plastic, coated, or aluminum parts 
avoid using abrasive or special cleansing agents 
(like the stainless steel polish), otherwise you may 
damage the surface.
• 
Clean coated and aluminum surfaces using the 
soft cloth and alcohol based cleaning agent (like 
glass cleaner).
 Wash the interior of the appliance with mild liquid 
detergent and lukewarm water, mixed with a little 
vinegar.
 Groove and drain outlet located below the cooling 
panel at the rear wall collect the drained water, so 
should not be clogged (e.g. with food particles). 
Make sure you inspect them periodically and 
clean if necessary (use plastic straw to free the 
outlet hole).
 The condenser on the rear wall must always be 
clean and free of dust or kitchen fumes deposits, 
therefore clean the dust periodically with non-
metallic brush or vacuum cleaner. 
 Clean also the drip pan above the compressor. 
If you removed the pan, please make sure you 
replace it to the same position, and check that it is 
in completely horizontal position!
 Ice and/or frost deposits exceeding 3-5 mm 
increase energy consumption, so should be 
defrosted regularly (not for the NO FROST 
freezer). Do not use sharp pointed objects, 
solvents or sprays.
 After cleaning switch the appliance on and reload 
the food.
