Ŷ
be washed by hand with warm water and a little
washing-up liquid. Never use the cleaning agent neat
and on no account use any abrasive or acid, i.e.
chemical cleaning products. A general all purpose pH
neutral cleaning agent is recommended
.
The use of steam cleaning appliances is
extremely dangerous and is therefore strictly
forbidden.
Ŷ
Wipe the interiors and accessories with clean water
and dry everything with a cloth. Then leave the
appliance to air for 3-4 minutes.
Ŷ
Do not damage or remove the rating plate from the
inside of the appliance - it is important for the after-
sales service and for the subsequent disposal.
Ŷ
Take care that no cleaning water comes into contact
with current-carrying parts inside the appliance.
Ŷ
If the rear of the appliance is fitted with a heat
exchanger, - also known as a condenser -
periodically remove any accumulation of dust and
fluff. Dust and fluff obstruct the dissipation of heat
from the interior and considerably increase the
energy consumption. The best way to remove dust
from the heat exchanger is to use a soft brush or a
feather whisk.
Ŷ
Make certain that the water from defrosting can run
off unhindered via the channel. Clean out the drain
aperture occasionally, using a cotton wool bud or
similer.
Ŷ
No cleaning water is to ren through the defrost
water drain hole. This would cause the
evaporation trap to overflow and cleaning water
would spill out on to the floor.
17 Defrosting
a) Fridge
Whilst the compressor (refrigeration unit) is running, frost
and condensation can form on the rear wall. These do
not have to be removed as the fridge automatically
defrosts.
The defrost water runs from the channel via the drain
hole, into a vessel from which it evaporates.
.
b)
Freezer compartment (where fitted)
The freezer compartment does not automatically defrost
as the frozen produce is not permitted to defrost.
Defrost the freezer compartment occasionally, at the
latest however when a ca. 5 mm thick coating of ice has
formed. Carry out the actions described in the chapter
"Cleaning and care" and the following steps.
Potential hazards
Never use electrical appliances such as hairdryers,
hot air fans, steam cleaners, defrosting sprays or
open flames (e.g. candles) for defrosting the freezer
compartment.
The plastic interior could melt and the emerging foam -
gas could be ignited by sparks or open flame.
Never use a steam cleaning appliance to melt
coatings of ice in the appliance (extremely high risk
of electric shock)
Hints
Ŷ
Remove the frozen produce and wrap it in several
layers of newspaper of blankets.
Ŷ
Keep the frozen produce in a cool place until the
freezer compartment is once more ready to use.
Ŷ
Leave the door of the freezer compattment open.
Ŷ
The layers of frost and ice in the freezer compartment
are formed through normal operation. Afrer a certain
thickness is exceeded, these act as insulation and
impair the transfer of cold.
Ŷ
Do not scrape off this frost or ice coating as this can
damage the evaporator surface.
Ŷ
Carry out defrosting as quickly as possible to prevent
the removed produce from defrosting.
Ŷ
Continuously remove the water with a sponge
or pull out and emply the water tray underneath, in
the fridge compartment (not fitted to all models)
Ŷ
Pull out the plug - where fitted - from the water drain
hole and replace the water tray in its guideway.
Ŷ
You can speed up the defrosting by placing a vessel
of hot (not boiling) water with a pot stand in the
freezer compartment. In this case close the freezer
compartment door.
Ŷ
Take care that the water tray - where fitted - does
not overflow.
Ŷ
When the freezer compartment is fully defrosted,
empty the water collected in the tray into your kitchen
sink.
Ŷ
Replace the plug in the water drain hole and replace
the water tray.
Ŷ
Wipe the freezer compartment dry and replace the
produce.
Ŷ
Re-connect the power supply to your appliance.
Ŷ
Switch the appliance back on with the temperature
controller (see chapter "Switching on/off -
Temperature selection" ) and - where fitted - press
the supercool button ( see chapter Supercooling
function"
Ŷ
Close the appliance door.
18 Troubleshooting guide
High quality manufacturing processes and the use of the
latest refrigerating and freezing technology will basically
ensure the trouble-free functioning of your appliance.
If you suspect any fault, before contacting your nearest
service department directly or via your dealer, make sure
you have followed all instructions and advice given in this
user manual.
