• Regularly wash the trays and other
accessories.
• Regularly clean the thaw water channel
space with a special cleaner 14 for that purpose
(Fig. 1).
• At least once a year clean dust away from
the back part of the appliance body and the
compressor. A soft brush, electrostatic cloth or
vacuum cleaner may be used for cleaning.
• DO NOT use dishwashing detergent
for cleaning trays, butter dishes, meat
compartments, or shelves.
• DO NOT use detergents containing abrasive
particles, acid, alcohol or benzene for cleaning
the appliance inner and outer surfaces.
• DO NOT use for cleaning cloths or sponges
that have coarse surfaces intended for
scrubbing.
PRACTICAL TIPS AND
OBSERVATIONS
• Do not keep bananas in the refrigerator
– these fruits are sensitive to cold.
• Do not keep prepared food and ready-
to-cook (“heat and eat”) food in the same
container.
• Store in an airtight container in the appliance
any foodstuffs that have a strong odour (e.g.
fresh fish, pâté de foie gras goose liver pâté,
and cheese).
• Frozen foodstuffs should be thawed in
the refrigerator compartment. Food that
thaws slowly retains better flavour properties
and spread cold will help to maintain the set
temperature in the refrigeration compartment.
• Do not consume ice made in the freezer
chamber straight away.
• Products will freeze more quickly if they are
divided up and packed in small portions.
• If the appliance is to be left switched off for
an extended period, leave its doors open.
Remarks on the appliance operating noise
As the appliance operates and goes through
the freezing cycle, various noises will be
emitted. This is normal and is not a sign of any
malfunction.
• As the refrigerant circulates around the
refrigeration system, it causes sounds like
murmuring, bubbling, or rustling.
• Louder sounds like popping or clicking may
be heard for a short time as the refrigerator’s
compressor switches on.
OPERATION PROBLEMS
AND THEIR SOLUTIONS
(TROUBLESHOOTING)
What if …
• The appliance is plugged in to the
mains but it does not work and the
electricity supply voltage indicator is not
illuminated.
Check that your house electricity supply
installations are in order. Check that the plug
is correctly inserted into the electricity supply
socket.
• The noise has become louder.
Check that the appliance is standing stable, on
a level place To make it level, regulate the front
feet. Check if the appliance is not touching any
furniture, and that no part of the refrigeration
system at the back part of the appliance body is
touching the wall. Pull the appliance away from
any furniture or walls. Check that the cause
of increased noise isn’t due to bottles, cans or
dishes in the appliance that might be touching
each other.
• Water has appeared at the bottom of
the refrigerator compartment.
Check whether a thaw water channel space isn’t
blocked. Clean the thaw water channel space
with a cleaner intended for that purpose.
• Water has appeared on the tempered
glass shelves.
Food items or dishes in the refrigeration
compartment are touching the back wall of the
compartment. Do not let food items or dishes
touch the back wall.
• Water has appeared under the
appliance.
The thaw water collection tray has slipped off
the compressor. Place the tray on top of the
compressor.
• When the appliance door is opened,
the rubber sealing gasket pulls out.
The gasket is smeared with sticky foodstuffs
(fat, syrup). Clean the sealing gasket and the
