Cleaning and Defrosting (Maintenance)
Cleaning
•
Always pull the mains plug before cleaning.
•
Do not pour water into the appliance.
•
Tepid water with a bit of washing-up liquid is
suitable for the regular maintenance. In order to
avoid an unpleasant smell in the cooling room, a
cleaning of the latter once a month is recom-
mended.
•
Clean the equipment separately with rinsing
water, not in the dishwasher.
•
Do not use aggressive, abrasive or alcoholic
detergents.
•
After cleaning it with clear water, wipe the sur-
face and carefully dry it off. Subsequently, plug
the mains plug
with dry hands
.
• In order to save energy and maintain the effi
-
ciency, you should clean the condenser (on the
backside) and the compressor at least twice a
year with a broom or vacuum cleaner.
•
The rating label in the interior of the appliance
cannot be damaged or even removed while
cleaning.
Defrosting
The appliance does not have to be defrosted,
just cleaned. The evaporator is in the back wall.
Therefore, the back walls in the cooling room can
get covered with frost. Whenever the compressor
is not operating, the frost can melt. The occurring
water is guided through a hose system into a bowl
on the compressor, where it is vaporised by the
occurring heat.
Tips for Energy Saving
•
For the installation of the appliance, choose a
cool, dry and well-aired room.
•
Protect the appliance from direct insolation. It
should not be installed near heat sources (stove,
heater etc.). If this cannot be avoided, some sort
of isolation between heat source and appliance
has to be used.
•
Don’t cover the ventilation openings and grid.
Provide enough circulation of air on the backside
of the appliance.
•
Let warm food cool down before you store it in
the fridge.
•
Do not leave the door open too long when with-
drawing or putting food inside. Otherwise, the
formation of ice in the interior will be accelerat-
ed.
•
Do not set the temperature lower than necessary.
More details on temperature settings can be
taken from the chapter ‘Controls and Display’.
Operation Noises
There might be some typical operation noises when
the appliance is turned on. These are:
•
Noise of the electric motor is arising from the
working compressor. When the compressor starts
to operate, then the noises get slightly louder for
a short time.
•
Noises in the tubes of the circulation of the
refrigerant.
