Defrosting, cleaning
W To clean the BioFresh drawers, pull the drawers right
out, grip at back and lift out (fig. L).
- To re-insert: place the drawers on the extended rails - the
rails must align with the front of the drawer - and slide in
(fig. M).
fig. L fig. M
- Simply pull the drawer cover out towards you. When
re-inserting, make sure the bearing pins snap into place in
the grooves.
The drawer and the cover must be flush with one an-other
vertically.
W The dust should be removed from
the refrigeration unit and heat ex-
changer - metal grid at the back of
the appliance - once a year. Dust
deposits increase energy consump-
tion.
W Ensure that none of the wires or other
components are dislodged, bent or damaged.
W Then 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.
Defrosting
The refrigerator compartment
defrosts automatically. The defrost water is evaporated by
the heat from the compressor; drops of water on the rear wall
are perfectly normal.
W Ensure 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 appli-
ance. Disconnect from the mains or unscrew
or switch off the fuse.
W Clean the outer walls, inside and equipment by
hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Be-
cause of the risk of injury and damage to the appliance,
steam cleaning equipment should not be used.
W We recommend using a soft cloth and an all-purpose
cleaner with a neutral pH value. Only use food compat-
ible cleaning and care agents on the inside of the appli-
ance.
W Use 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
normal.
W 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.
W Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the ventila-
tion grilles 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 pur-
poses.
W The 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.
- Always remove the top door rack (butter and cheese
compartment) together with the flap*. Then press one of
the side walls carefully to the outside to release the flap
pin. The flap can then be lifted out. Make sure not to
damage any bushings*.
- The shelves and door racks can be dismantled for clean-
ing. Remove the trims and sides* from the glass shelves.
W Remove the protective film* from the decorative trims.
W Clean the drain hole on the rear
wall frequently, fig., arrow. If neces-
sary, clean with a thin object, e.g.
a cotton swab or similar.
