Defrosting

The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. The defrost water is evaporated by the heat from the compres- sor; drops of water on the rear wall are perfectly normal.

WEnsure that the defrost water can flow freely through the drain hole in the rear wall (arrow in fig. A).

Cleaning

W Before cleaning, always switch off the appliance.

Disconnect from the mains or unscrew or switch off the fuse.

WClean the outer walls, inside and equipment by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Because of the risk of injury and damage to the appliance, steam clean- ing equipment should not be used.

WWe recommend using a soft cloth and an all-purpose cleaner with a neutral pH value. Only use food compatible cleaning and care agents on the inside of the appliance.

WUse a commercially available stainless-steel cleaning agent for stainless-steel appliances*.

- In order to achieve best possible protection, apply a stain- less-steel care agent uniformly in grinding direction after cleaning. Points which are darker at the start and a more intensive coloration of the stainless-steel surface are nor- mal.

- Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, do not use con- centrated cleaning agents and never use cleaning agents containing sand, chloride or acid or chemical solvents, as these would damage the surfaces and could cause corro- sion.

WEnsure that no cleaning water penetrates into the ventila-

tion grille or any electrical components, and keep it out of the defrost drain as far as possible. Wipe the appliance dry.

-Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the appliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.

WThe butter dish* can be washed in a dishwasher. The racks, shelves and other components should be cleaned

by hand as they are not dishwasher-safe. - The shelves and door racks can be dis-

mantled for cleaning. Remove the trims and sides from the glass shelves. Remove the protective film from the decorative trims.

WClean the drain hole on the rear wall frequently, fig. A, arrow. If necessary, clean with a thin object, e.g. a cotton swab or similar.

WThe dust should be removed from the

refrigeration unit and heat exchanger - metal grid at the back of the appliance - once a year.

Dust deposits increase energy consump- tion.

WEnsure that none of the wires or other components are dislodged, bent or damaged.

WThen connect/switch on the appliance.

If the appliance is to be left switched off for any length of time, empty the appliance, disconnect from the mains, clean as described above and leave the door open so as to avoid odours.

Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life span and reliable operation.

If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check whether it is due to an operating error. Please note

that even during the warranty period the resultant servicing GB costs in this case will have to be borne by the owner.

You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking the possible causes yourself:

Malfunction Possible cause and remedy

Appliance does not work

-Is the appliance switched on properly?

-Is the mains plug properly inserted in the socket?

-Is the socket fuse intact?

The interior light does not come on

-Is the appliance switched on?

-The bulb is defective. Change the bulb as described in "Interior light".

Loud running noise

-Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor, or does the compressor cause nearby items of furniture or objects to vibrate?

If necessary, move bottles and containers apart.

-Burbling noises are normal. These are caused by the refrigerant flowing round the refrigerant circuit.

A short clicking sound: This will be heard whenever the refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on or off automati- cally.

Motor noise: This will be slightly louder for a brief period when the refrigeration unit switches on.

A low-pitched humming sound is caused by air flow noises in the fan.

The temperature is not cold enough

-Is the temperature setting correct?

If necessary, set a lower temperature.

-Loose thermometer in appliance is showing a wrong reading.

-Does the door close properly?

-Is the appliance sufficiently well ventilated? Clear ventilation grilles if necessary.

-Is the ambient temperature too hot? (See "Safety regulations")

-Has the appliance been opened too often or left open too long?

Customer service and type plate

If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the fault yourself, please contact your nearest customer service department (see enclosed list for ad- dresses). State the:

type designation 1, service number 2and appliance number 3

as given on the type plate so as to ensure rapid, accurate servic-ing. The type plate is located inside the appli- ance on the left-hand side.
