Cleaning
Switch off the appliance by pressing the
on/off button before cleaning it inside.
The cabinet is best cleaned using warm
water (max. 85°C) with a little mild
detergent. Never use cleaning agents that
scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean
water and dry thoroughly. It is important
to prevent water from entering the control
panel.
The defrost water channel, in which
condensation from the evaporator runs,
is located on the rear wall of the cabinet
and must be kept clean. Add a few drops
of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the defrost
water drain a couple of times a year,
and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner
or similar. Never use sharp or pointed
implements.
The sealing strip around the doors must be
cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration
and prolong service life. Use clean water.
After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it
continues to provide a tight seal.
The condensers need no cleaning. They
are built in, partly to minimise energy
consumption, and partly to prevent them
from being damaged.
Dust collecting on the compressor and
in the compressor compartment is best
removed using a vacuum cleaner. It is
possible to clean beneath the appliance by
removing the kick plate.
Stainless steel or aluminium doors are best
cleaned using a care spray and soft cloth.
Various suitable products are available from
most household appliance distributors.
If the appliance is not to be used for any
length of time, switch it off, empty it, clean
the cabinet and fittings, and leave the doors
slightly open to allow air circulation and
prevent smells.
Replacing the light tube
Switch off the appliance by pressing the
on/off button and unplug the mains lead
from the wall socket. Remove the lamp
cover using a small flat-headed screwdriver.
Replace the PLC tube (11 W).
Refit the cover, reconnect the power supply,
and start the appliance by pressing the
on/off button .
Sensor faults
Various faults may occur while the
appliance is in use. If a sensor fault is
detected, a flashing E followed by a
number will be shown on the display.
The control lamp flashes red, green and
yellow alternately and the acoustic alarm is
activated.
If this happens, call for service. An
integrated emergency program will attempt
to maintain an acceptable temperature until
the fault is rectified.
Save energy
- Cool hot food and beverages before
placing them in the refrigerator.
- Thaw frozen items in the refrigerator
section.
- Keep the doors closed as much as
possible.
- Ensure that the doors are not prevented
from closing tightly.
