Cleaning
Clean the appliance at least twice per year
Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out
the mains plug or remove/unscrew the fuse.
• Clean the inside, equipment parts and outer walls with lukewarm
water and a little 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 elec trical
components or ventilation grille.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• The dust should be removed from the refrigeration unit and
heat exchanger - metal grid at the back of the appliance - once
a year.
• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the
appliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.
• Use a commercially available stainless-steel cleaning agent for
stainless-steel appliances.
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 corro-
sion.
Shutting your appliance down
If your appliance is to be shut down for any length of time, switch
it off and disconnect the plug or switch off or unscrew 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.
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 fitted in the mains socket?
– Is the fuse intact?
• Loud running noise:
– Is the appliance set up firmly on the floor?
– 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")?
– Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct
reading?
– 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 yourself, contact the
nearest customer service de-
partment stating the type des-
ignation
1
, service number
2
and appliance number
3
as
indicated on the type plate.
The position of the type plate
is shown in the section entitled
Description of the appliance.
Defrosting
After a longer period of operation a layer of frost or ice can build up
on the cooling plates in the freezer compartment. This will increase
the energy consumption of the freezer. The cooling plates should
therefor be defrosted regularly.
• Switch the appliance off to defrost. Pull out the mains plug.
• Wrap the frozen food in paper or blankets and store in a cool
place.
• 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
artificial aids for defrosting other than those
recommended by the manufactur er.
