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.
• Remove the drawers.
• 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 artificial aids for
defrosting other than those recommended by the manufactur er.
Cleaning
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 electrical com-
ponents 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 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: the control lamps are not lit.
– Is the appliance switched on?
– Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket?
– Is the socket 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 temperature")?
– 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 yourself, contact the
nearest customer service de-
partment stating the type of
appliance ➊, service number
➋ and appliance number ➌ as
indicated on the type plate.
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 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
