Ongoing Maintenance Of Your Appliance; Cleaning Your Appliance - De Dietrich 6435EN Guide D'installation Et D'utilisation

Ongoing maintenance of your appliance

Disconnect your appliance prior to performing any maintenance operation. Grasp
the plug directly, instead of pulling on the power cable.

Cleaning your appliance

We recommend that you clean and
disinfect your appliance regularly
for improved hygiene and to keep
your food completely safe: the re-
frigerator section
cleaned once a month and the
freezer after each time you defrost
it.
Remove all the food from the freezer. Place it
in isothermic bags or wrap it in newspaper and
store it in a cool place.
Clean your appliance inside and out with a bi-
carbonate of soda solution (1 dessertspoon of
bicarbonate to 4 litres of water). Do not use al-
cohol, scouring powder or detergents, which
could damage the surfaces.
Do not use a high-pressure steam
cleaner. The very hot steam could
damage the surfaces and the elec-
trical circuits; you would expose
yourself to a risk of electrocution.
Rinse with water, dry with a cloth.

Periodically check that the drain hole for the
defrosting water is not blocked and clean it
with a stick as shown in the Drawing.
Don't forget to clean the condenser from time
to time: this is at the back of the appliance
(see the section on "Description of your ap-
pliance"). Use a dry paintbrush to do this or,
better yet, your vacuum cleaner.
Reconnect your appliance, and adjust the re-
frigerator's temperature if necessary, as
shown in the section on "Adjusting your refri-
gerator's temperature", and press the "Quick
Freeze" button.
Wait 3 or 4 hours before placing the food back
in your appliance.
After 24 hours, release the "Quick Freeze" but-
ton to stop this operation.
