- Gather a vacuum cleaner and a soft brush for clearing dust and dirt from the condenser located at the back of the cabinet.
Safety warnings
- Do not use jet or pressure washers to clean any part of the appliance.
- Never allow the main power switch, digital control panel, mains cable, or electrical plug to get wet during cleaning.
- Do not use boiling water exceeding +85 °C on plastic parts as they cannot withstand temperatures above this limit.
- Do not allow oil or fat to come into contact with the plastic components or door seal, and clean them immediately if contact occurs.
Cabinet and Interior Surface Cleaning
The cabinet should be kept thoroughly clean using a mild soap solution without the application of abrasive cleansers.
Plastic components cannot withstand boiling water exceeding +85 °C and must be protected from high-temperature liquids.
Clean the unit with a moist cloth and ensure that no water penetrates the electrical components.
- Switch off the unit and disconnect the power supply plug from the mains socket outlet before beginning any cleaning procedure.
- Wipe down all interior and exterior cabinet surfaces using a moist cloth and a mild soap solution.
- Ensure that water does not enter the switches, control panel, electrical cable, or plug at any time.
- Always wipe all cleaned cabinet surfaces thoroughly dry with a soft cloth before restoring power.
Door Seal and Gasket Care
When regular cleaning is performed, be sure to wipe clean the rubber door gasket to ensure any sticky substances are removed that would otherwise damage the gasket.
Clean the door seal with water only rather than chemical detergents.
Do not allow oil or fat to remain in contact with the door seal or plastic components, and clean them immediately if contact occurs.
- Inspect the entire perimeter of the rubber door gasket for accumulated dirt, sticky residues, fat, or oil.
- Clean the door seal thoroughly using clean water only to prevent chemical degradation.
- Wipe away any sticky substances immediately so that the flexible rubber gasket material is not damaged.
- Dry the gasket completely using a clean, soft cloth.
Condenser and Airflow Maintenance
The condenser on the back of the cabinet must be regularly cleaned to ensure proper heat dissipation.
Cleaning the rear condenser is best carried out using a vacuum cleaner and a brush.
The condenser fan air outlet above the compressor must be kept free of leaves, paper, and debris to ensure normal operation of the cabinet.
It is recommended that an authorised service agent or qualified technician clean the condenser during special periodic maintenance.
- Disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains power supply before accessing the rear condenser.

- Clean the rear condenser assembly using a vacuum cleaner and a soft brush to remove dust accumulation.
- Arrange for an authorised service agent or qualified technician to carry out special periodic maintenance on the condenser when required.
Extended Shutdown and Storage Procedure
If the appliance is to be shut down for a long period, specific shutdown and cleaning steps must be followed to maintain sanitary conditions.
Leaving the cabinet door open during extended non-use is necessary to prevent odour buildup inside the storage compartment.
- Switch off the appliance switch and disconnect the plug from the electrical socket outlet.
- Clean the appliance interior and exterior thoroughly using a moist cloth with mild soapy water, wiping dry with a soft cloth.
- Clean the door seal using water only and wipe away any oils or residues.
- Leave the appliance door open for the entire duration of the shutdown period to prevent unpleasant odours from developing inside.
Stop and get help if
- Stop cleaning immediately and disconnect the power supply if water or cleaning solution penetrates electrical components, switches, or the control panel.
- Cease operation immediately if the electrical supply cord is found to be damaged or worn.
