Defrosting
The refrigerator and Climat-Freshbox compartment
defrost automatically. The defrost water is evaporated by the heat
from the compressor.
The freezer compartment*
After a long period of operation, a thick layer of frost or ice can
build up inside the freezer compartment. This increases energy
consumption. You should therefore defrost the freezer compart-
ment regularly:
W
To defrost, switch off the appliance: Disconnect the appliance
from the mains or press the on/off button so that the temperature
display goes out. If the display does not go out, the child-proof
lock is
activated.
W
Wrap the frozen goods in newspaper or a blanket and store in
a cool place.
W
To speed up the defrosting proc-
ess place a saucepan of hot but
not boiling water in the compart-
ment.
Do not use electric heaters
or steam cleaners, defrost-
ing sprays or naked flames for defrosting nor
any sharp objects for removing the ice. Risk of
injury and damage!
W
Leave the freezer compartment door and the appliance door
open when defrosting. Mop up the defrost water with a sponge
or cloth. Clean the appliance afterwards.
Cleaning
W
Before cleaning, always switch off the appli-
ance. Disconnect from the mains or unscrew
or switch off the fuse.
W
Clean the inside and equipment by hand with lukewarm
water and a little detergent. Because of the risk of injury and
damage to the appliance, steam cleaning equipment should
not be used.
W
We recommend using a soft cloth and an all-purpose cleaner
with a neutral pH value.
- Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, do not use concen-
trated cleaning agents and never use cleaning agents containing
sand, chloride or acid or chemical solvents.
W
Do not allow cleaning water to run down the drain gulley or to
penetrate the ventilation grilles or electrical components. Wipe
the appliance dry.
- Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the
appliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.
W
The butter dish* can be washed in a dishwasher. The racks,
Defrosting, cleaning
shelves and other components should be
cleaned by hand.
W
Remove the shelves as shown in the il-
lustration:
- Lift the glass shelf, align the recess over
the support, tilt to the side and remove at
an angle.
- Always insert shelves with the raised edge
at the back pointing upwards, otherwise food may freeze onto
the rear wall.
W
Always remove the
top
door rack (butter and cheese compart-
ment) together with the flap*. Then press one of the side walls
carefully to the outside to release the flap pin. The flap can then
be lifted out.
- The shelves and door racks can be dismantled for cleaning.
Remove the trims and sides from the glass shelves.
- Remove the protective film from the decorative trims (see
fig.).
