To prevent any unpleasant odour within the cabinet, it should be cleaned about once every
two months. The interior and exterior surfaces and the drain channel may be cleaned with a
wet cloth. If necessary, a mild, neutral detergent may be used. Wipe dry thoroughly with a
clean cloth after cleaning.
The marked area (see diagramme on the right) is designed to
collect any fluid that may accumulate inside the cabinet. The
interior must be kept dry to prevent any damage to the door
seals. Any fluid found in the tray can be removed by wiping it
dry.
Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning.
Any dust deposits around the ventilation slots on the outside of the unit should be regularly
removed using a suitable brush or a vacuum cleaner. The build-up of dust will cause an
increase in energy consumption.
The rear of the appliance should be thoroughly cleaned with a soft brush or a vacuum
cleaner at least once a year.
Remark: Do not use abrasive tools or materials containing alcohol or harsh cleaning
solutions. Do not use any electrical appliances, such as steam cleaners etc., for de-frosting or
cleaning.
Trouble-shooting
Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is switched on. These sounds are:
- Caused by the electrical motor within the compressor
assembly; during compressor start-up the sound level will be
slightly higher for a limited period of time.
- Caused by the cooling agent flowing through the circuit.
In addition, the side of the housing may become warm. This heat is caused by dissipation of
the heat generated inside the cabinet.
The following table lists the possible malfunctions, their probable causes and solutions. In
the event of operational problems, check first whether a solution can be found using this
table. If the problem persists, disconnect the appliance from the mains power and contact
our Customer Service Department.
