Defrosting and cleaning the
inner compartment
The fridge compartment does not need to
be defrosted as it is equipped with an auto-
mated thawing function. Frost and ice are
automatically defrosted and the thaw water
is collected in a thaw water container on the
reverse side of the appliance. The thaw water
evaporates as a result of the heat generated
by the motor.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to defl agration or explosion!
■
Never use defrosting sprays. They can
generate explosive gases.
■
Do not use any means other than
those recommended by the manufac-
turer to speed up defrosting. For ex-
ample, do not use any electric heat-
ing equipment, knives or devices with
an open fl ame such as a candle. The
thermal insulation and the interior
walls are scratch- and heat-sensitive
and can melt.
1. Set the temperature controller (1) to “0”.
2. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
3. Ensure that your food is kept cool
enough.
4. Remove the vegetable drawer (4) and
the glass shelves (5) from the fridge
compartment.
In order to remove the door compart-
ments (2), push them together slightly to
the sides and simultaneously pull them
upwards out of the holders.
5. Clean all of the parts in lukewarm soapy
water. Then dry everything thoroughly.
6. Wash the interior with warm water and
washing up liquid.
When wiping clean, add a few drops of
vinegar to the water to prevent mould
formation.
Wipe the interior dry and leave the door
open for a while to air.

7. The thaw water drain (6) is positioned
on back wall of the fridge compartment
above the vegetable drawer (4). The
cleaning tool can be found in the open-
ing to the thaw water drain. Use it to
clean the thaw water drain.
8. Only clean the door seals with clean wa-
ter; they are sensitive to oil and fat.
9. Replace the glass shelves, the vegeta-
ble compartment and the door compart-
ments.
10. Return the food to the fridge compart-
ment.
11.
Plug the mains plug back into the socket
and turn the temperature controller (1) to
level “7”.
