Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment defrosts
automatically. The water that forms on
the rear wall drains into a reservoir at the
back of the appliance and evaporates
automatically through the compres-
sor heat.
Ensure that the water can ow without
hindrance through the hole above the
vegetable bins (see "Cleaning").
Freezer compartment
After a long period of operation, a layer of frost or ice can build up
inside the freezer compartment. This increases energy consumption.
You should therefore defrost the freezer compartment regularly.
• Switch the appliance o to defrost.
Pull out the mains plug or set the temperature control to "0".
• Wrap the frozen food in paper or blankets and store in a cool
place.
• To speed up the defrosting process put a saucepan of hot but not
boiling water on one of the cooling elements.
• Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting. After
defrosting mop up the remaining water and clean the appliance.
Do not use any mechanical devices or other articial aids for de-
frosting other than those recommended by the manufactur er.
Cleaning
Before cleaning always switch o the appliance. Pull out the
mains plug or remove/unscrew the fuse.
Clean the inside and equipment with lukewarm water and a lit-
tle detergent. Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical
solvents.
Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk of injury and
damage.
• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical com-
ponents or ventilation grille.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• The ventilation and air outlets should be cleaned regularly. Dust
deposits increase energy consumption.
• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the ap-
pliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.
Malfunctions
You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking
the possible causes yourself:
Appliance does not function:
– Is the appliance switched on?
– Is the plug correctly tted in the mains socket?
– Is the socket fuse intact?
Loud running noise:
– Is the appliance set up rmly on the oor?
– Does the appliance cause nearby items of furniture or objects to
vibrate? Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant circuit
cannot be avoided.
The temperature is not low enough:
– Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the tempera-
ture")?
– Have excessive amounts of fresh food been placed in the appli-
ance?
– Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct read-
ing?
– Is the ventilation system working properly?
– Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?
If none of the above causes apply
and you cannot rectify the fault your-
self, contact the nearest customer
service department stating the type
of appliance ➊, service number ➋
and appliance number ➌ as indi-
cated on the type plate. The type
plate is located in the refrigerator
compartment on the left-hand side
(Refrigerator compartment).
Shutting your appliance down
If your appliance is to be shut down for any length of time, switch it
o and disconnect the plug or remove the fuse. Clean the appliance
and leave the door open in order to prevent unpleasant smells.
The appliance complies with the relevant safety regulations and
EC directives 2004/108/EC and 2006/95/EC.
All types and models are subject to continuous improvement and
the manufacturer therefore reserves the right to make modica tions
to the shape, equipment and technology.
