Cleaning
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.
W Ensure 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
W Before cleaning, always switch off the appliance.
Disconnect from the mains or unscrew or remove
the fuse.
W Clean 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.
W We recommend using a soft cloth and an all-purpose clea-
ner with a neutral pH value. Only use food-safe cleaning
and care products in the interior of the appliance.
- 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.
W Clean 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.
W The 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.
W Ensure that none of the wires or other
components are dislodged, bent or
damaged.
W Then 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.

Troubleshooting
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 left-hand
side.
Leave the appliance shut until the customer service engineer
arrives so as to prevent any further cold loss.
