Defrosting, cleaning
Information about defrosting
The NoFrost system* automatically defrosts the appli-
ance.
The moisture created drops down to the evaporator, where
it is periodically defrosted and evaporated.
The automatic defrost function ensures that the freezer
compartment is always frost-free, and you save time and work
because there is no need to manually defrost the appliance.
Freezer compartment
Appliances without a NoFrost system can form a layer of frost and
ice after extended periods of use, depending on how often the door
is opened, and the amount of “warm” food placed inside. This is
completely normal. However a thick layer of ice will increase 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 washing-up liquid. Do not use a steam cleaner
- you can injure yourself and damage the appliance!
W We recommend using a soft cloth and an all-purpose detergent
with a neutral pH value.
- 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.
W The butter box* can be washed in the dishwasher, the shelves,
glass shelf and other components must be hand-washed.
W Remove the shelves as shown in the illustration:
- Lift the glass shelf, pull out the recesses above the supports,
lower to one side, and remove at an incline.
- Always insert the shelf surfaces with the stopper edge to the
rear and pointing upwards, otherwise food may freeze to the
back wall.
W If you want to remove the top door rack
(butter and cheese compartment), always
lift it out together with its lid*! Then care-
fully push one side of the rack outwards,
until the lid pin is disengaged and the lid
can be removed to one side.
- You can dismantle the racks and door
racks for cleaning - you can pull the strips
and side components away from the glass tray.
- Remove the protective film from all the decorative strips, fig.

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”)
W You should regularly clean the drain opening on the rear wall
behind the vegetable drawer. If necessary clean it out with
a soft thin object, such as a cotton bud or similar.
W Then 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..
