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 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 tempera-

ture")?

– Have excessive amounts of fresh food been placed in the ap-

pliance?

– 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 ➊,

PNC ➋ as indicated on the type

plate. The type plate is located

in the refrigerator compartment

on the left-hand side next to the

vegetable bins.

Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment defrosts

automatically. The water that forms

on the rear wall drains into a reser-

voir at the back of the appliance and

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 con-

sumption. You should therefore defrost the freezer compartment

regularly.

• Switch the appliance off to defrost.

Pull out the mains plug or set the temperature control to "0".

• 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 de-

frosting mop up the remaining water and clean the appliance.

Do not use any mechanical devices or other artiﬁcial aids for de-

frosting other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

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

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.

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

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

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 ap-

pliance 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 modiﬁca-

tions to the shape, equipment and technology.
