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.
Malfunctions
Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a lengthy, reliable
operating life with no malfunctions. If a malfunction nonetheless
occurs during operation, check whether it is due to an operating
error. Please note that even during the warranty period the result-
ant servicing costs in this case will have to be borne by the owner.
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 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“)?
– 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 your-
self, contact the nearest customer
service department stating the type
of appliance ➊, index ➋ and appli-
ance number ➌ as indicated on the
type plate. The type plate is located
in the refrigerator compartment on
the left-hand side.
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 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.
Defrosting
The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. The water that
forms on the rear wall drains into a reservoir at the back of the appli-
ance and evaporates automatically through the compressor heat.
