Note on defrosting
The NoFrost system defrosts the appliance automatically.
In the refrigerator compartment
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.).
In the freezer compartment
The moisture produced accumulates on the evaporator, is periodically defrosted and evaporates.
Due to the automatic defrosting principle, the freezing com- partment remains free of ice at all times, no work or time is required for manual defrosting.
Cleaning
WBefore cleaning, always switch off the appliance. Disconnect from the mains or unscrew or remove 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 cleaning equipment should not be used.
WWe recommend using a soft cloth and an
-Do not use scouring/abrasive sponges, concentrated cleaning agents and cleaning or chemical solutions containing sand, chloride or acids; they damage the surfaces and can cause corrosion.
-Do not allow cleaning water to run down the drain gulley or to penetrate the ventilation grilles or electrical components. Dry the appliance.
-Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the appliance - it is important for the customer service department.
WClean the drain hole on the rear wall above the vegetable bins frequently, see arrow in figure.
If necessary, clean with a thin ob- ject, 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 consumption.
WEnsure that none of the wires or other components are dislodged, bent or damaged.
WThen connect/switch on the appliance,
and switch on SuperFrost. You can start loading the freezer as soon as the red visual warning light has gone out.
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 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, display is unlit
-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 refrigerator compartment switched on?
-Has the door been open for more than 15 minutes?
-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 the appliance slightly, align by adjusting the adjustable feet, or move bottles and containers apart.
-The following are normal: flow noises, bubbling or dripping noises, they come from the refrigerant flowing in the refrigerant circuit.
A short clicking sound: This will be heard whenever the refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on or off automatical- ly.
Motor noise: This will be slightly louder for a brief period when the refrigeration unit switches on.
Alarm sounds, red visual warning light button lights up, temperature is not low enough
-Have you put too much fresh food into the freezer without activating SuperFrost? (See section "SuperFrost")
-Does the door close properly?
-Is the appliance sufficiently well ventilated? Clear ventilation grilles if necessary.
-Is the ambient temperature too hot? (See section "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, or if more than one indicator light is flashing, please contact your nearest service centre (see attached list).
Inform the service centre of the
type designation 1, service number 2 and appliance number 3
of the type plate, and which of the indicator lights are flashing, so as to ensure rapid, specific service.
The type plate is located inside the freezer compartment on the
Leave the appliance shut until the customer service engineer arrives so as to prevent any further cold loss.
