Defrosting

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 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. Therefore defrost the freezer compartment regularly.
• Switch the appliance off to
defrost. Pull out the mains plug
or press the freezer compart-

that the temperature display
goes dark.
• Remove the drawers and glass shelves.
• 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 water
on the compartment floor.
• 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.
Cleaning
Before cleaning always switch of the appliance. Disconnect
from the mains or unscrew or switch of 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
components or ventilation grille.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• 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.
Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk
of injury and damage.

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 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?
• 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
customer service department
stating the type of appliance ➊,
PNC number ➋ and appliance
number ➌ as indicated on the
type plate.
The position of the type plate
is shown in the section entitled
Description of the appliance.
