Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment de-

frosts automatically. The condensate

evaporates automatically through the

compressor heat.

Ensure that the water can flow 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.

• Pull out the plug or switch off the fuse.

• 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

artificial 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

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

metal or aluminium containers.

• A l ways w r i te t h e d ate a n d contents o n t h e pack a n d do n o t exc e e d

the stated storage time for the food.

• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks

as they might burst. Drinks can be placed in the freezer to cool

them down quickly, but take the bottles out again after an hour

at the most.

• 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 off by the frozen food is used

for cooling.

Freezer compartment

You can store frozen food for several months, make ice cubes and

freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment at a temperature of

-18°C and lower.

The air temperature in the compartment, measured by thermometer

or other instruments, may fluctuate.

Freezing

Fresh food should be frozen to the core as quickly as possible.

You can freeze up to 2 kg/24 hours.

• S e t t h e temperature control to a m edium to c o l d s e t t i n g (a p p rox . 6).

• Wait 24 hours.

• Place the fresh food in the freezer compartment.

• After approx. 24 hours the fresh food will be frozen.

• Now switch back the temperature control to the required setting.

When storing pre-frozen food, the freezer compartment can be filled

straight away. It is not necessary to change the temperature setting.

Replacing the lamp

If the lamp is defective, it can be replaced taking into account the

following points.

1. Pull out the plug or switch off

the fuse.

2. Push the lamp cover upwards at

the rear and remove.

When using an LED lamp

Only original LED lamps from the appliance manufacturer may

be used. The lamp can be purchased from the customer service

department or specialist dealers.

WARNING!

When using LED lamps made by other manu-

facturers, there is a risk of overheating or fire.

When using a normal light bulb

Use a bulb of max. 15 W, bulb fitting: E14.

The voltage specified on the light bulb must

correspond to the voltage given on the type

plate.

The position of the type plate is shown in

the section entitled Description of the

appliance.

3. Unscrew the defective lamp and screw in the new one.

4. Slide the cover back on and click into place.
