6. Onderhoud en Skoonmaak
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and hygiene.
6.1 Skoonmaak van die binnekant
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance. Clean the interior regularly with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals.

The Low Frost technology significantly reduces ice build-up in the freezer, meaning less frequent manual defrosting. When a layer of ice approximately 5mm thick forms, manual defrosting is recommended. To defrost, remove all food, unplug the appliance, and leave the freezer door open. Collect melted water with a towel or tray. Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior before restarting.
6.3 Hygiene Gaskets
The door gaskets are treated with an anti-mold agent. Clean them regularly with warm water and a soft cloth to maintain their effectiveness and ensure a tight seal.
6.4 Skoonmaak van die buitekant
Vee die buite-oppervlaktes af met 'n sagte, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent. Avoid getting water into electrical components.
