accumulation

of

dust

and

fluff.

Dust

and

fluff

obstruct

the

dissipation

of

heat

from

the

interior

and

considerably

increase

the energy

consumption.

The

best way

to

remove dust from

the heat

exchanger is

to use

a soft

brush

or a

feather whisk.

■ Make

certain

that

the

water

from

defrosting

can

run

off

unhindered via

the

channel.

Clean

out

the

drain

aperture

occasionally,

using

a cotton

wool

bud or similer.

■No cleaning water is to ren through the

defrost	water	drain	hole.	This would
cause	the evaporation		trap to	overflow and
cleaning	water	would spill out on to the floor.

11 Defrosting

a)Freezer compartment (where fitted)

The freezer compartment does not automatically defrost as the frozen produce is not permitted to defrost.

Defrost the freezer	compartment	occasionally,	at
the latest however when a ca. 5 mm thick coating			of
ice has formed. Carry out the actions		described in	the
chapter "Cleaning and care" and the following steps.

Potential hazards

Never use electrical appliances such as hairdryers, hot air fans, steam cleaners, defrosting sprays or open flames (e.g. candles) for defrosting the freezer compartment.

The plastic interior could melt and the emerging foam - gas could be ignited by sparks or open flame. Never use a steam cleaning appliance to melt coatings of ice in the appliance (extremely high risk of electric shock)

Hints

■Remove the frozen produce and wrap it in

	several layers of newspaper of					blankets.
■	Keep	the	frozen		produce	in	a cool	place
	until	the freezer compartment				is once more ready to
	use.
■	Leave the door of the freezer compattment open.
■	The layers of frost			and ice in the freezer compartment
	are formed		through		normal	operation.		Afrer	a
	certain thickness			is	exceeded,		these	act	as
	insulation and impair the transfer of cold.
■	Do not scrape		off this		frost or ice coating as this can
	damage the evaporator surface.

■Carry out defrosting as quickly as possible to prevent the removed produce from defrosting.

■Continuously remove the water with a sponge

or pull out and emply the water tray underneath, in the fridge compartment (not fitted to all models)

■Pull out the plug - where fitted - from the water drain hole and replace the water tray in its guideway.

■ You can speed up the defrosting by placing a vessel

			Instruction for use		Freezer
of	hot	(not	boiling) water	with	a	pot	stand
in	the	freezer	compartment.	In	this	case	close

the freezer compartment door.

■Take care that the water tray - where fitted -

	does not overflow.
■	When		the	freezer		compartment			is	fully
	defrosted, empty the water collected in the tray into your
	kitchen sink.
■ Replace the plug in the water						drain hole and replace
	the water tray.
■	Wipe	the freezer compartment dry						and	replace
	the produce.
■ Re-connect the power supply to your							appliance.
■	Switch		the	appliance		back	on		with	the
	temperature			controller		(see			chapter
	"Switching			on/off	-	Temperature		selection" )
	and	-	where fitted		-	press	the		supercool
	button		( see	chapter	Supercooling function"

■Close the appliance door.

Troubleshooting guide

High quality manufacturing

processes and the use of the

latest refrigerating and

freezing technology

will basically

ensure the trouble-free functioning of your appliance.

If you

suspect any

fault, before

contacting your nearest

service department directly or via your dealer, make sure

you have followed all instructions and advice given in this

user manual.

Please note:

The compressor (also known as the refrigerating motor)

must not operate continuously.

It

is

controlled

by

a

thermostat

which

you

set

on

the

temperature dial and

switches

on

automatically

when

the

set

temperature

in

the

appliance

is

exceeded

and

switches

off

automatically

when it

is

reached again.

Noise can be heard in every compressor - refrigerating

system

when

it

is

switched

on.

These noises

are produced when the motor in the compressor is running and by the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerating system circuit. These noises are normal and do not indicate any fault in the functioning of your appliance.

In unheated rooms and in cold weather conditions, condensation can build up on the outer walls of the appliance This does not mean there is a fault and it will disappear when the temperature increases.

Only call the service department, if after analysis of the possible fault factors, you cannot find any cause for the defect or you are not able to eliminate the fault.

Therefore first check under: what to do when "
