Defrosting
The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. The water
that forms on the rear wall drains into a reservoir at the back of
the appliance and evaporates automatically through the com-
pressor heat.
Cleaning
Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out
the mains plug or remove/unscrew the fuse.
Clean the inside, equipment parts 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
•
components or ventilation grille.
Dry all parts well with a cloth.
•
Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the
•
appliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.
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 remove the fuse. Clean the ap-
pliance 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.
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 socket 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 tempera-
ture”)?
- Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct
reading?
- 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 of appliance ➊,
service number ➋ and appliance
number ➌ as indicated on the
type plate. The type plate is lo-
cated in the refrigerator compart-
ment on the left-hand side.
