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.

* 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 dierent 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.
