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
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.
12 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 ......"
