Interior fittings
All variable parts of the appliance can be
taken out for cleaning (see chapter
Interior fittings).

prevent ice cubes, which were made
quite a long time ago, from shrinking,
having a stale taste or sticking together.
1. Take out the ice maker. Fig. &
2. Remove and empty the storage
container.
3. Remove cover from the ice maker.
4. Clean all parts of the ice maker with
warm water.
5. Leave parts to dry completely.
6. Assemble ice maker and insert.
Tips for saving energy
■
Install the appliance in a dry, well
ventilated room! The appliance should
not be installed in direct sunlight
or near a heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker).
If required, use an insulating plate.
■
Do not block the ventilation openings
in the appliance.
■
Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance.
■
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator
compartment and use the low
temperature of the frozen food to cool
refrigerated food.
■
Open the appliance as briefly as
possible.
■
Ensure that the freezer compartment
door is always closed properly.
■
To avoid increased power
consumption, occasionally clean the
back of the appliance.
■
If available:
Fit wall spacers to obtain the indicated
energy rating of the appliance (see
Installation instructions). A reduced
wall gap will not restrict the function
of the appliance. The energy rating
may then increase slightly. The gap
of 75 mm must not be exceeded.
■
The arrangement of the fittings does
not affect the energy rating of the
appliance.
