De-frosting and cleaning
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall socket before
cleaning.
∙ When the build-up of ice has reached a thickness of
2 mm, the unit must be de-frosted.
∙ Turn the temperature control down to '0' and leave the
door open.
Place the drip tray in the rear centre of the storage shelf.
The unit is now defrosting, and the resulting melt-water
is collected at the bottom and in the drip tray.
∙ Warning: Do not use any external device or other
means (e.g. heaters or heating fans) to accelerate de-
frosting.
∙ Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
∙ For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of
warm water with some mild detergent. To prevent any
unpleasant odour within the refrigerator, it should be
cleaned about once a month.
∙ Any accessories should be cleaned separately with
soapy water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions or any
cleaning agents that contain alcohol.
∙ After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces with fresh
water before wiping them completely dry. When re-
inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you
have dry hands.
∙ Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate
inside the cabinet during cleaning.
∙ To save energy, the compressor (at the rear) should be
cleaned carefully at least twice a year with a brush or a
vacuum cleaner.

at all.

Possible cause and solution
∙ There is a power failure
∙ The main fuse has blown.
∙ The temperature control is set to '0'.
∙ The fuse in the wall socket (if applicable) has blown. This can be checked by connecting
another electrical device to the socket and checking for function.
∙ Check for proper positioning (uneven floor?).
∙ Are any adjacent objects affected by the running of the cooling unit (i.e. causing them to
vibrate?)
∙ Are there any objects on top of the unit which might be vibrating?
Energy saving tips
∙ The appliance should be set up in a well-ventilated, dry
room.
∙ Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight, and
do not position it next to any heat sources (radiators,
cookers etc). If this cannot be avoided, however,
suitable insulation must be installed between the heat
source and the unit.
∙ Do not cover the ventilation openings and grilles, and
ensure sufficient air circulation behind the unit.
∙ The compressor (at the rear) should be cleaned at
regular intervals. Accumulated dust causes an increase
in energy consumption.
∙ Warm food should be allowed to cool down before it is
stored inside.
∙ Do not leave the fridge door open for too long when
loading or taking out food.
∙ Do not set a lower-than-necessary temperature. For
detailed information on the temperature settings, please
refer to the section Temperature control.
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.
The following table lists possible malfunctions and 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.
