Malfunctions
If a malfunction occurs during operation, check whether it is due
to an operating error.
You may be able to rectify the following faults yourself:
• Appliance does not function: the control lamps are not lit.
- 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 temperature)?
- Have excessive amounts of fresh food been placed in the appli-
ance?
- 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
department stating the type of
appliance 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 the appliance has been in operation for some time, a layer
of frost or ice will form on the inside walls. This increases energy
consumption.
• Switch on SuperFrost the day before defrosting.
• Switch the appliance off to defrost. Pull out the mains plug.
• Wrap the frozen food, possibly still in the freezer basket, in paper
or blankets and store in a cool place.
• Remove the plug from the
drain opening (except model
GT 1432). Remove the divid-
ing wall or freezer tray and
place underneath the appli-
ance so that the defrosted
water escapes through the
drain opening into the divid-
ing wall or the freezer tray.
• Leave the lid 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.
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 lid 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.
Cleaning
Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Disconnect
from the mains or switch off or unscrew the fuse.
• Clean the inside, equipment 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
components or ventilation grille.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• The ventilation grilles should be cleaned regularly. Dust deposits
increase energy consumption. Ensure that none of the wires or
other components are dislodged, bent or damaged.
