• Remove the worn gasket rubber by removing it
from the groove. Carefully clean the appliance
door and the groove below the rubber and re-
move any adhesive residue.
• Attach the new rubber. If necessary, heat the
rubber seal with a hair dryer or hot water and
shape it by hand. Start pressing the gasket in one
corner and then press it around the door into the
groove provided for this purpose.
• Continue to check the seal regularly for dirt and
damage!
Defrosting
CAUTION:
Never use metal objects (e.g. knifes) to remove ice
from the evaporator, it can be damaged.
 During the defrosting process in the fridge, the
water drops drain off at the back wall of the cooling
chamber. The thaw water running through a channel,
is collected in a drip tray located on the compressor,
from which it then evaporates. Make sure that the
defrost water drain channel does not become
clogged. A slight formation of ice on the interior rear
wall during operation is normal.
A permanently high power level can lead to in-
→ set a lower power level and
creased ice formation
wipe the interior of the appliance dry.
 To achieve better cooling and to save energy,
defrost the freezer regularly:
• To start the defrosting process, disconnect the
appliance from the power supply.
• Remove the appliance content and keep covered
at a cool location.
• When the ice has melted, wipe the condensate
away and dry the appliance interior.
• Then you may restart the appliance by connecting
the plug and turning the temperature control.
