Cleaning and care
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall socket before
cleaning.
∙ The cabinet should be cleaned once a month.
∙ During operation, you may notice a build-up of frost
around the integral evaporator sealed into the rear of
the inside cabinet. This layer of frost will start melting
when the compressor is not working. Through a system
of hoses, the melt-water drains into the collection tray
below the compressor, where it will be absorbed into the
surrounding air. Therefore, the appliance requires no
defrosting and should only be cleaned.
∙ To enable the melt-water to drain freely, always ensure
that the discharge opening on the rear interior wall of the
cabinet is free of any blockage.
∙ Any water collecting in the bottom should be removed.
∙ Do not use abrasive tools, materials containing alcohol
or harsh cleaning solutions.
∙ Do not use any electrical appliances, such as steam
cleaners, for de-frosting or cleaning.
∙ Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
∙ For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of a damp
cloth and a little mild detergent.
∙ Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the wooden shelves.
∙ After cleaning, all surfaces must be wiped completely
dry. When re-inserting the plug into the wall socket
ensure that you have dry hands .
Trouble-shooting
Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is
switched on. These sounds are caused by:
∙ the electric motor within the compressor assembly;
during compressor start-up the sound level will be
slightly higher for a short time.
∙ the cooling agent flowing through the circuit.
∙ In addition, the side of the housing may become warm.
This heat is caused by dissipation of the heat generated
inside the cabinet.
∙ The following table lists possible malfunctions,
their probable causes and solutions. In the event of
operational problems, check first whether a solution
can be found using this table. If the problem persists,
disconnect the appliance from the mains power and
contact our Customer Service Department.
