Defrosting
Freezer compartment
The fully automatic NoFrost system
ensures that the freezer compartment
remains free of ice. Defrosting is no
longer required.
Cleaning the appliance
m
Caution
■
Do not use abrasive, chloride or acidic
cleaning agents or solvents.
■
Do not use scouring or abrasive
sponges.
The metallic surfaces could corrode.
■
Never clean shelves and containers
in the dishwasher.
The parts may become deformed!
Note
Approx. 4 hours before cleaning
the appliance, switch on super freezing
so that the food drops to a very low
temperature and can therefore be stored
at room temperature for a longer period.
Proceed as follows:
1. Before cleaning: Switch off
the appliance.
2. Pull out mains plug or switch off fuse.
3. Take out the frozen food and store
in a cool location. Place the ice pack
(if enclosed) on the food.
4. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth,
lukewarm water and a little pH neutral
washing-up liquid. The rinsing water
must not run into the light.
5. Wipe the door seal with clear water
only and then wipe dry thoroughly.
6. Clean drainage channel in the
dispenser unit; to do this, remove
cover and clean and dry channel with
a cloth.
7. After cleaning reconnect and switch
the appliance back on.
8. Put the frozen food back in the freezer
compartment.
Interior fittings
All variable parts of the appliance can be
taken out for cleaning (see chapter
Interior fittings).
Cleaning the ice cube container
If ice cubes have not been dispensed for
a prolonged period, they will shrink, have
a stale taste and stick together.
Therefore, the ice cube container should
be cleaned regularly.
m
Caution
A full ice cube container is heavy.
1. Remove the ice cube container.
2. Pull out the container, empty
and clean with lukewarm water.
Note
Do not clean the container by
immersing it in water. Water must not
get inside the container!
3. Thoroughly dry the container
to prevent new ice cubes from
sticking.
4. Insert the ice cube container.
Ice cube production continues.
