Defrosting, cleaning
Information about defrosting
The NoFrost system* automatically defrosts the appli- ance.

The automatic defrost function ensures that the freezer compartment is always
Freezer compartment
Appliances without a NoFrost system can form a layer of frost and iceafterextendedperiodsofuse,dependingonhowoftenthedoor is opened, and the amount of “warm” food placed inside. This is completelynormal.Howevera thick layerof icewillincrease power consumption. For this reason you should defrost the appliance regularly: Do not use an electric heater or steam cleaner, defrost spray, open flames or metal objects to remove the ice. You can cause injury to yourself and damage the appliance!
One day before you are going to defrost the freezer, switch it to “SuperFrost”, to ensure that the food obtains a “cold boost”. To defrost: Remove the plug or press the freezer on/off switch, so that the temperature display goes out. If the display does not go out, the child lock is on.
Leave the drawers and the freezer door open while you are de- frosting. Soak up any defrost water with a sponge or cloth.
Cleaning
W Before cleaning you should, in principle, put the appliance out of operation. Remove the mains plug or remove the fuses or trip the fuse switch.
W Manually wash the inside and the components with luke warm water, and a little

Do not use abrasive scourers, do not use undiluted detergent | |
| and never use cleaning agents or chemi- |
| cal solutions containing sand, chloride or |
| acid. |
W Make sure that the cleaning water does | |
| not get into the drain, ventilation grille or |
| the electric parts. Rub the appliance dry. |
- Do not damage or remove the type plate | |
| inside the appliance - it is important for |
| customer services. |

WThen reconnect the appliance,or switch it back on.
If the appliance is going to be out of use for an extended period of time empty it of all its contents, remove the plug, and clean it as described above and leave the appliance door open to prevent odours from forming..
Faults - problems?
If a fault should occur while it is in operation, please check whether the fault might have been caused by an operating error, because should this be the case, then you will be charged for the cost of any repairs during the guarantee period.
You can fix the following faults yourself by checking for the likely cause:
fault- possible cause and remedy The appliance is not working, the display is not lit - Has the appliance been switched on properly?
- Is the plug inserted correctly in the wall socket? - Is the fuse in the plug working correctly?
The interior light does not go on
- Has the refrigerator section been switched on?
- Has the door been open for longer than 15 minutes?? - The bulb is faulty.
.Mains voltage
Caution! To prevent injury and material damage, any repairs and replacements to the interior LED lights must be carried out only by customer services.
Careful - class 1M laser beam.If the cover is open, do not look directly inside with an optical instrument. The noise is too loud
- Is the appliance firmly positioned on the floor, are nearby kitchen units or objects vibrating as a result?
Make sure that bottles and containers are not touching.
- It is normal for: trickling, bubbling or splashing sounds to occur; these are from the coolant flowing through the coolant circuit.
A slight clicking will occur, this always happen when the fridge motor switches itself on and off automatically.
A humming noise from the motor. This is a little louder for a very short time when the unit switches on. When SuperFrost is switched on, when food has been recently stored or if the door is open for a long period, the cooling capacity automatically increases. A deep humming noise is caused by the noise of air flowing through the fan.
The alarm has sounded, the temperature is not low enough
- Is it possible that you have stored too much fresh food without switching on SuperFrost? (see section on “SuperFrost”)
- Is the door properly shut?
- Is there sufficient ventilation?
Ensure that the vents are not blocked.
- Is the ambient temperature too high? (see section on “Condi- tions”)
