Interior cleaning: Remove all food. Clean shelves and drawers with warm water and baking soda. Rinse and dry.
Door seals: Clean gently with water only to maintain elasticity.
Condenser: Vacuum the rear grille (if accessible) once a year to remove dust.

CAUTION! Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical solvents. Do not pour water directly onto the appliance.

Energy Saving Tips

Ensure door seals are clean and tight.
Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before freezing.
Open the door as infrequently and briefly as possible.
Ensure adequate ventilation space around the appliance (see Installation).
Set the temperature to the recommended -18°C (0°F); colder settings use more energy.
Check that the appliance is level so doors close properly.
