Press and hold the "freeze/super +"
and "cool/super +" buttons for 5 seconds. When the
appliance is off, the temperature displays will show "- -".
The rest of the display panel is off.

Putting the appliance out of service
If you do not use the appliance for long periods:
1. Remove all food from the appliance.
2. Switch off the appliance.
3. Empty and clean the water tank.
4. Empty the ice-cube container and clean it.
5. Clean the appliance.
6. Leave the appliance doors open.

Defrosting

Fridge compartment
While the appliance is in use, drops of condensation or
frost form on the back of the fridge compartment. As
the rear panel defrosts automatically, it is not necessary
to remove the frost or the condensation.
Freezer compartment
Thanks to the fully automatic NoFrost system, the
freezer compartment remains free of ice. There is no
longer any need to defrost it.

Cleaning the appliance

m
Caution
Do not use gritty, acidic or chlorine-based cleaning
■
agents or solvents.
Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or sponges that
■
may scratch surfaces. This may lead to corrosion of
the metallic surfaces.
Never clean the shelves or containers in the
■
dishwasher. The parts may warp.
Proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the appliance before cleaning.
2. Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off
the circuit-breaker.
3. Take out the food and store it in a cool place. Place
an ice block (if you have one) on the food.
4. Wait until the layer of frost has thawed out.
5. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, lukewarm
water, and a little pH-neutral washing-up liquid. The
washing-up liquid solution must not be allowed to
get into the lights or run into the evaporation tray
through the drain hole.
6. Only wipe the door seal with clean water and then
rub it until it is dry.
7. After cleaning, reconnect the appliance to the mains
and switch it on.
8. Put the food back in.
Fittings
All the variable components of the appliance can be
removed for cleaning (see section headed Fittings).
Ice-cube container
If no ice-cubes are dispensed for an extended period,
the ice cubes in the container shrink, taste stale and
stick together. Therefore, the ice-cube container should
be cleaned regularly.

1. Press and hold the "crushed ice/cubes" button for
3 seconds.
2. Pull out the ice-cube container.
