tips
• A high ambient temperature will have a negative effect on the energy consumption. Direct sunlight and other heat
sources near the appliance also have a negative effect.
• Keep ventilation holes free. Covered and dirty holes cause a higher energy consumption. Ensure sufficient space around
the freezer, so that a proper ventilation and air flow around the appliance is possible.
• Do not open the door of the appliance more often than necessary and leave the door open as briefly as possible.
• Set the thermostat to a lower setting if circumstances allow.
• Allow cooked food that you want to store in the appliance to cool down to room temperature before placing it in the
appliance.
• Frost or ice will increase power consumption. Therefore, these should be removed regularly once they are 3 to 5 mm
thick.
• A door rubber that does not close properly could increase the power consumption. Therefore, have it replaced by a
skilled person in time.
• If the instructions are not observed, this could lead to a higher power consumption.

cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off by removing the plug from the socket.
Remove the food from the freezer. Clean the inside of the freezer. Use warm soapy water with a neutral cleaning agent to
prevent nasty smells. Wipe the inside of the freezer after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry. Leave
the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. The shelves and drawers can be removed from the freezer easily and washed by hand.
These components may never be cleaned in the dishwasher.
For areas in the freezer that are difficult to clean, such as small openings or corners, it is recommended wiping them clean
regularly with a soft cloth or brush. If necessary, a tool can be used, such as thin sticks (cocktail sticks, for example), to make
sure no contamination can occur in these areas.
Clean the outside of the freezer and the door rubbers with a soft damp cloth.
Clean the back of the freezer and the surface on which it stands at least once a year with a vacuum cleaner, so that the
ventilation holes remain clean and the freezer is able to function as well and energy efficient as possible.
Do not use hard brushes, steel wool, abrasives (such as toothpaste), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, oil, etc.),
boiling water, acid or alkaline product to clean the freezer, as this could damage the surface or interior of the freezer. Boiling
water and benzene could deform or damage plastic components.
DEFROSTING
The freezer section of this appliance is free from frost - no-frost. If used correctly, no ice will be formed.
If an ice layer is created after all, defrost the freezer section when the ice layer has reached a thickness of 3 mm. Remove
all products from the freezer section. Store the frozen products on a cool location, packaged in newspapers and blankets.
Remove the plug from the socket and keep the door of the cooler section closed while defrosting the freezer section.
Defrost the freezer section Defrosting can be accelerated by placing a tray with hot water in the freezer section. Do not use
sharp metal objects to scrape the freezer section clean, use a plastic ice scraper.
Clean and dry the freezer section. Insert the plug in the socket and set the thermostat to the required setting. Place the
frozen products back in the freezer section once it has reached the required temperature.
Warning: Never remove ice with sharp objects, defrosting sprays, a hair dryer, a heater or something similar.
This could lead to unsafe situations and cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
