Defrosting
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.
Caution!
Defrost the appliance as soon as the ice thickness is 5 mm.
Otherwise, the drawers cannot be opened and might become
damaged.
• Switch the appliance off to defrost. Pull out the mains plug.
• 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.
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 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 read-
ing?
– Is the ventilation system working properly?
– Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?
If none of the above causes apply
and you cannot rectify the fault
yourself, contact the nearest
customer service department
stating the type designation ➊,
service number ➋ and appliance
number ➌ as indicated on the type
plate. The type plate is located on
the inside left of the appliance.
Shutting your appliance down
If your appliance is to be shut down for any length of time, switch
it off and disconnect the plug or switch off or unscrew the fuse.
Clean the appliance and leave the door open in order to prevent
unpleasant smells.
The appliance complies with the relevant safety regulations and
EC Directives 2004/108/EC and 2006/95/EC.
All types and models are subject to continuous improvement and
the manufacturer therefore reserves the right to make modifica-
tions to the shape, equipment and technology.
Cleaning
Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out the
mains plug or switch off or unscrew the fuse.
Clean the inside, equipment and outer walls with lukewarm water
and a little detergent. Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners or
chemical solvents.
Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk of injury and
damage.
• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical com-
ponents or ventilation grille.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• The dust should be removed from the refrigeration unit and heat
exchanger - metal grid at the back of the appliance - once a year.
• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the ap-
pliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.
Equipment
Freezing chart
The freezing chart represents
the frozen food and the time it
can be safely stored in months.
The individual storage times
and whether or not the lower
or upper value is applicable
depend on the food quality, its
processing prior to freezing,
and the individual household's
quality requirements.
The lower values always apply
to food with a high fat content.
Cold-storage accumulators
The cold-storage accumulators provided
prevent the temperature in the freezer
from rising too quickly in the event
of a power failure.
To ensure maximum storage time in
the event of a power failure, place the
cold-storage accumulators in the top-most
freezer drawer on top of the food.
