Shutting your appliance down

If your appliance is to be shut down for any length of time, switch

it o and disconnect the plug or switch o 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.

All types and models are subject to continuous improvement and

the manufacturer therefore reserves the right to make modica tions

to the shape, equipment and technology.

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 tted in the mains socket?

– Is the socket fuse intact?

• Loud running noise:

– Is the appliance set up rmly on the oor?

– 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?

• The inside of the appliance may feel warm in places

– That is quite normal. The dissipated heat is necessary for normal

operation of the appliance.

If none of the above causes apply

and you cannot rectify the fault

yourself, contact the nearest cus-

tomer service department stating

the type of appliance ➊, PNC

number ➋ and appliance 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 o the appliance. Disconnect

from the mains or unscrew or switch o 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.

• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical com-

ponents or ventilation grille.

• Dry all parts well with a cloth.

• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the ap-

pliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.

• Clean the drain hole in the refrigerator compartment with a thin

object, e.g. cotton swab or the like.

Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk of injury and

damage.

Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment de-

frosts automatically. The condensate

evaporates automatically through the

compressor heat.

Ensure that the water can ow without

hindrance through the hole above the

vegetable bins.

Freezer compartment

After a long period of operation, a layer of frost or ice can build up

inside the freezer compartment. This increases energy consump-

tion. You should therefore defrost the freezer compartment regularly.

• Switch the appliance o to defrost.

Pull out the mains plug.

• 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 in the compartment.

• 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 articial aids for

defrosting other than those recommended by the manufactur er.

Making ice cubes

• Fill the ice-cube tray with water.

• Place the ice-cube tray in the appliance and

leave it to freeze.

• The ice cubes can be removed from the

tray by twisting or by holding upside down

for a short time under running water.

Notes on freezing and storage

• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reuseable plastic,

metal or aluminium containers.

• Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not exeed

the stated storage time for the food.

• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks

as they might burst.

• Only take out as much food as is immediately required for thawing.

Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals as quickly

as possible.

Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:

– in a fan oven

– in a microwave oven

– at room temperature

– in the refrigerator: the cold given o by the frozen food is used for

cooling.
