Periodically clean the refrigerator and freezer compartments with a sponge dampened in a solution of lukewarm water and special detergent for refrigerator interiors. Never clean the refrigerator parts with flammable liquids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. • Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products, scourers, stain-removers (e. g. • Regularly clean the condenser (air vents at the rear of the appliance) with a vacuum cleaner or a brush (see figure). • Ensure the seals are always perfectly clean. INSTALLATION Freestanding appliances (not built-in) • Fit the spacers (if supplied) on the rear of the condenser positioned at the back of the appliance (see figure); alternatively, leave a space of at least 6 cm between the rear of the appliance and the wall. • To optimize appliance efficiency, leave a 5 cm gap above the appliance and make sure that adjacent kitchen units are sufficiently distanced to allow air circulation. • Ensure that the appliance is level, using the front adjustment feet if necessary. • Regulations require that the appliance is earthed. The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons or animals and for damage to property resulting from failure to observe the above procedures and reminders. • If the plug and socket are not of the same type, modification or replacement must only be carried out by qualified personell. Do not use single/multi adapters or extension cords. Disconnecting the appliance It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the power supply by unplugging it or by means of a mains two-pole switch installed upstream of the socket. 28 63702020GB. fm Page 29 Monday, February 9, 2009 11:09 AM VACATION For short vacations The refrigerator does not have to be disconnected from the power supply if you will be away for less than three weeks. Use up perishable food and freeze other food. For long vacations Remove all the food if you are going away for more than three weeks. Unplug the refrigerator and clean it, rinse and dry. Fix some wooden or plastic wedges to the upper part of both doors with adhesive tape and leave the doors open enough for air to circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of mould and bad odours. [. . . ] Then screw the bottom hinge on the left hand side of the refrigerator. Screw the levelling feet back into place.
