DEFROSTING

The fridge defrosts automatically
The rear wall of the fridge covers with
frost when the compressor is running, and
defrosts when the compressor is off. The
water from the thawing frost evaporates
by itself.
Defrosting the freezer
compartment
During use and when the freezer
compartment door is opened, moisture
is deposited in the freezer compartment
as frost. Remove this frost from time to
time with the soft plastic scraper. Under
no circumstances, use hard or pointed
objects to remove frost.
The freezer compartment should always
be defrosted when the layer of frost
has reached a thickness of approx.
4 millimetres; however at least once a
year. A good time for defrosting is when
the appliance is empty or contains only
little food.
WARNING! Do not use electrical
heating appliances or any other
mechanical or artificial devices to
speed up the defrosting process,
with the exception of those
recommended in these operating
instructions.
Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be
hazardous to your health and/or contain
substances that damage plastics.

CLEANING AND CARE

For hygienic reasons the appliance
interior, including interior accessories,
should be cleaned regularly.
WARNING! The appliance may
not be connected to the mains
during cleaning. Danger of
electrical shock! Before cleaning
switch the appliance off and
remove the plug from the mains,
or switch off or turn out the circuit
breaker or fuse.
CAUTION! Do not touch frozen
food with wet hands. Your hands
could stick to the food and cause
skin abrasions.
Remove frozen food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and store it, covered,
in a cool place. Switch off the appliance
and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off
the circuit breaker.
Tip:
You can speed up the defrosting water in
the freezer compartment and closing the
doors. Remove pieces of ice that have
fallen before they completely defrost. After
defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer
compartment (see "Cleaning and Care"
section).
Switching off the appliance
To switch off the appliance, turn the
temperature regulator to position "0".

be used for an extended period:
Remove all refrigerated packages. Switch
off the appliance by turning the temperature
regulator to position "0". Remove the
mains plug or switch off or turn out the
circuit breaker or fuse. Clean thoroughly
(see section "cleaning and Care").
Leave the door open to avoid the build
up of odour.
Never clean the appliance with a steam
cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in
electrical components, danger of electrical
shock! Hot vapour can lead to the damage
of plastic parts.
The appliance must be dry before it is
placed back into service.
