Cleaning and Care
Hints for Freezing 
• When 
fi rst starting-up or after a period 
without use, let the appliance run at least 
2 hours on the coldest setting before 
putting food in. 
•  For faster freezing and thawing, we 
recommend storing food in small 
portions. 
•  Wrap food in aluminum foil or airtight 
food containers. 
•  Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to 
touch the food which is already frozen to 
avoid temperature rise of frozen product. 
•  Frozen products, if consumed imme-
diately after removal from the freezer 
compartment, will probably cause frost 
burns to the skin and mouth. 
•  We recommend labeling and dating each 
frozen package in order to keep track of 
the storage time. 
For hygienic reasons, the appliance 
(including exterior and interior accessories) 
should be cleaned regularly at least every 
two months. 
Caution!  The appliance must not be 
connected to the power source during 
cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. 
Before cleaning switch the appliance off and 
remove the plug from the socket. 
Exterior Cleaning 
Wipe the digital display and control panel 
with a clean, soft cloth. 
•  Spray water onto the cleaning cloth 
instead of spraying directly on the 
surface of the appliance. This helps 
ensure an even distribution of moisture 
to the surface. 
•  Clean the doors, handles and cabinet 
surfaces with a mild detergent and then 
wipe dry with a soft cloth. 
Hints for the Storage of Frozen Food
•  Ensure that frozen food has been stored 
in accordance with the manufacturer’s 
instruction. 
•  Once defrosted, food quality rapidly 
decreases and should not be re-frozen. 
Do not exceed the storage period of 
time indicated by the food manufacturer. 
Switching off your Appliance 
•  If the appliance needs to be switched 
off for an extended period of time, 
the following steps should be taken 
to prevent mold from growing in the 
appliance. 
1.  Remove all food. 
2.  Unplug the power plug from the main 
socket. 
3.  Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. 
4.  Ensure that all the doors are wedged 
open slightly to allow air to circulate.
Caution!
•  Don’t use rough cleaning pads such as 
steel wool or brushes as they are likely 
to scratch the surface. 
• Don’t use chemical thinner, car 
detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive 
cleaners or organic solvent such as 
Benzene for cleaning. They may damage 
the surface of the appliance. 
Interior Cleaning  
You should clean the appliance interior 
regularly. It will be easier to clean when 
there are no shelves or food in the unit. Use 
a sponge or a dish cloth soaked in water 
with baking soda to clean the inside of 
the refrigerator and  to prevent odors from 
developing. Wipe the interior completely 
dry before replacing the shelves and other 
accessories.
