Freezing
If fast freezing is required, turn the thermo-
stat knob in the refrigerator compartment to
MAX. (clockwise). This setting will also
affect the temperature in the refrigeration
compartment. Therefore, experience will
show how long fast freezing and with it a
lower refrigerator temperature is necessary.
Make a note of the normal position of the
thermostat knob before setting it on "MAX:"
so that after fast freezing you can find the
"normal" temperature again.
Note also that maximum freezing capacity,
can be achieved by removing the basket,
by placing produce already frozen in the
middle of the freezer compartment, and by
placing produce to be frozen close to the
cold side walls of the freezer compartment.
Defrosting
Refrigeration compartment
The refrigeration compartment has fully
automatic defrosting, controlled by a sensor
which starts refrigeration only when the
evaporator has been completely defrosted.
Should an unusual amount of ice appear,
defrost the compartment manually by
switching off refrigeration.
When the evaporator has been defrosted
and cleaned, restart refrigeration by setting
the correct temperature. For stopping,
restarting, setting procedures, see
"Temperature setting".
Freezing compartment
Frost should be removed when it becomes
more than 1/2 cm thick. Never use a sharp
or pointed object that might damage the
freezer. The cabinet should be completely
defrosted about twice a year.
Disconnect power at the wall socket and
place a bowl of hot water in the cabinet.
Close the door and wait half an hour. Defro-
sting can be accelerated by blowing hot air
into the cabinet with a hair drier. It then

becomes easy to scrape off any remaining
frost.
Cleaning
Switch off power at the wall socket.
The refrigerator/freezer is best cleaned
with a weak soap solution (max. 85°C).
Never use cleaning agents that might
scratch. Clean the sealing strip around the
door regularly to prevent discolouration
and prolong its life.
Remove dust and threads from the com-
pressor compartment with a vacuum clea-
ner.

Useful hints

Door sticking
Opening and closing the door(s) creates
underpressure in the cabinet. If you need
to open and close the door(s) repeatedly
within a short period, lay something be-
tween the door sealing strip and cabinet
front edge to create an air gap.
The freezer is to remain unused for a
time
After the refrigerator/freezer has been
defrosted and cleaned, leave the door
slightly ajar. This will prevent bad smells.
Compressor does not run
- Check the temperature setting.
- Check to ensure that power is switched
on and that the plug has been properly
inserted into the wall socket.
Unfamiliar sounds
Can be caused by tubes in the appliance
contacting each other or the outer clad-
ding.
- Check to make sure the refrigerator/
