Defrosting, cleaning
Defrosting
The refrigerator and BioFresh compartment
defrost automatically. The defrost water is evaporated by the
heat from the compressor.
W Simply ensure that the defrost water can ow freely through
the drain hole in the rear wall behind the top BioFresh
drawer (arrow in g. A).
The freezer compartment
after the appliance has been in operation for some time,
a layer of ice will form if the door is opened and fresh food
placed inside the freezer regularly. This is completely normal.
However, a thick layer of ice will increase the appliance’s en-
ergy consumption. You should therefore defrost the appliance
regularly:
W Switch „Superfrost“ on one day before defrosting. The
frozen goods are provided with a „cold reserve“.
W To defrost, disconnect the appliance from the mains or
press the freezer on/o button so that the temperature dis-
play goes out. If the display does not go out, the child-proof
lock is acti vated.
W If possible, put the frozen goods in the freezer drawer with
the cold-storage accumulators on top, wrap in newspaper
or a blanket and store in a cool place.
W To speed up the defrosting process put a saucepan of hot
but not boiling water on one of the shelves.
Do not use electric heaters or steam clean ers, de-
frosting sprays or naked ames for defrosting nor any
metal objects for removing the ice. Risk of injury and
damage!
W Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting.
Soak up the defrost water in the recess in the oor with a
sponge or cloth. Then clean the appliance and wipe dry.
Cleaning
W Before cleaning, always switch o the appliance. Dis-
connect from the mains or un screw or remove the
fuse.
W
Clean the outer walls, inside and equipment by hand with
lukewarm water and a little detergent. Because of the risk of
injury and damage to the appliance, steam cleaning equip-
ment should not be used.
W First clean the side panels with a conventional stainless
steel cleaner. Subsequently, apply the enclosed stainless
steel care product evenly onto the surfaces in the same
direction in with they have been ground or polished.
W Only clean the door surfaces with a clean and soft cloth. If
necessary, moisten the cloth (water + detergent). Alterna-
tively, use a micro-bre cloth.
- Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, do not use con-
centrated cleaning agents and never use cleaning agents
containing sand, chloride or acid or chemical solvents, as
these would damage the surfaces and could cause corrosion.
W Do not allow cleaning water to run down the drain gulley or
to penetrate the ventilation grilles or electrical components.
Dry the appliance.
- Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of
the appliance - it is important for the customer service de-
partment.
Freezer compartment
* Depending on model and options
Information system*
Use frozen food within the recommended period.
The numbers between the symbols indicate the storage pe-
riod in months for dierent kinds of frozen foods.
Storage times given are guide times for food frozen at home.
Whether or not the lower or upper value is applicable de-
pends on the food quality and how it was processed prior to
freezing. The lower values always apply to food with a high fat
content.
Making ice-cubes
W Fill the ice-cube tray with water.
W Place the ice-cube tray in the appli-
ance and leave it to freeze.
W The ice-cubes can be removed from
the tray by twisting or by holding
upside down for a short time under
running water.

Cold-storage accumulators
The cold-storage accumulators provided
prevent the temperature in the freezer
from rising too quickly in the event of
a power failure, thus preserving the
quality of the food.
To ensure maximum storage time
in the event of a power failure, place
the cold-storage accumulators in the top-
most freezer drawer on top of the food.
