Switching on and off
69
Switching off for longer peri-
ods of time
If the refrigeration appliance is not go-
ing to be used for a longer period of
time:
 Switch the refrigeration appliance off.
 Switch off at the wall and withdraw
the plug from the socket, or discon-
nect the fuse.
 Risk of damage due to frozen
water inlet pipe.
If the water inlet is blocked while the
ice maker is still in use, the water in-
let pipe can freeze up.
Turn the ice maker off if the water
supply is turned off (e.g. while on
holiday).
 Close the stopcock in the water sup-
ply line (approx. 3hours before
switching off the refrigeration appli-
ance to avoid the build-up of mould
caused by stagnant water).
 Empty the ice cube container.
 Clean the refrigeration appliance.
 Clean the water filter.
 Leave the door ajar to air the refriger-
ation appliance and prevent odours
from building up inside it.
If, during a long absence, the refri-
geration appliance is switched off
but not cleaned and the door(s) left
shut, there is a risk of mould forming
inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the refrigera-
tion appliance.
