Notes on defrosting
The NoFrost system automatically defrosts the appliance.
Any moisture arising collects on the evaporator and freezes,
and is periodically defrosted and evapo
rated.
The automatic defrosting system keeps the freezer frost-free
and eliminates the time and eort spent on defrosting manu-
ally.
Cleaning
W Always disable the appliance for cleaning.
Disconnect from the mains or unscrew or
switch
othefuse.
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 clean
ing equipment should not be used.
- Never use abrasive or scouring sponges. Do not use con-
centrated cleaning agents and never use abrasive or acid
cleaners or chemical solvents.
W
We recommend using a soft cloth and an all-purpose
cleaner with a neutral pH value.
-
Only use food compatible cleaning and care agents on the
inside of the appliance.
-
Ensure that no cleaning water is allowed to penetrate into
the electrical components or ventilation grilles.
Dry the appliance.
- Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of
the appliance as this is important for customer service.
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
consump
tion.
W Ensure that none of the wires or
other components are dislodged,
bent or damaged.
W
Then connect/switch on the appli-
ance, switch on SuperFrost and start to insert the food to
be frozen as the temperature drops.
If the appliance is to be left out of operation for any length
of time, empty it, disconnect from the mains, clean as
described above and leave the door open in order to avoid
unpleasant smells.
Cleaning
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
Appliancedoesnotwork,thedisplayiso
- Is the appliance switched on properly?
-
Is the mains plug properly inserted in the socket?
- Is the socket fuse intact?
The lighting does not come on
-
Is the appliance switched on?
- Has the door been open for more than 15 minutes?
-
The bulb is defective. Check the bulb as described in
"Lighting" and change if necessary.
Loud running noise
-
Is the appliance standing rmly on the oor, or does the
compressor cause nearby items of furniture or objects to
vibrate?
If necessary, move the appliance slightly, align by adjust-
ing the adjustable feet, or move bottles and containers
apart.
-
Burbling noises are normal. These are caused by the
refrigerant owing round the refrigerant circuit.
A short clicking sound: This will be heard when ever the
refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on or o automati-
cally.
Motor noise: This will be slightly louder for a brief period
when the refrigeration unit switches on. The refrigerating
capacity will increase when the SuperFrost function is
activated, fresh food has just been placed in the appliance
or the door has been left open for a while.
The audible warning signal sounds, the temperature is
not cold enough
-
Have you put too much fresh food into the freezer without
activating SuperFrost? (See "SuperFrost")
-
Does the door close properly?
-
Is the appliance suciently well ventilated?
Clear ventilation grilles if necessary.
- Is the ambient temperature too hot? (See "Safety regu-
lations")
-
Has the appliance been opened too often or left open too
long?
-
If applicable, wait until the appliance reaches the required
temperature itself.
appears in the display
- There has been a power failure; proceed as described in
"Power failure/FrostControl display".
The outside of the appliance may feel warm in places
-
That is quite normal. The heat from the cooling circuit is
used to avoid the formation of conden sate.
The compressor will continue to run for a while
-
On energy saving models, this is caused by the functions
and is perfectly normal. When less refrigeration is required,
the VCC compressor switches to a low speed. It will then
be running almost constantly, but it does save energy.
