more signicant loss of cooling energy can

be avoided. The maximum storage time

during malfunction can be taken from the

appliance specication sheet at the end of

the manual. Because of the higher interior

temperature, the storage time for food is

shortened.

Data for expiry dates of frozen food are indi-

cated in the chart per month.

Do not store the frozen food longer than the

given time in the freezer. Pay attention to the

expiry date of the frozen food indicated by

producer.

Refrigerator:

• Store the food only packaged or covered

in the refrigerator, in order to sustain the

avour and the freshness. Especially foods

with a strong smell or prone to absorbing

smell (cheese, sh, butter, among others)

have to be stored separately.

• At rst, set an average cooling temperature.

If the cooling is too strong, set a higher

temperature and if the cooling is too weak,

set a lower temperature.

If frost is built upon the back wall, then

the cause of this could be that the door

was opened too long, warm dishes were in

the appliance or the temperature was set

too low.

• Warm foods have to be cooled down to

room temperature before they can be

stored in the appliance.

• Make sure that the door is closed correctly

and that it is not blocked by cooled food.

Cleaning and Defrosting (Maintenance)

Cleaning

• Always pull the mains plug before clean-

ing.

• 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 recommended.

• Clean the equipment separately with rins-

ing water, not in the dishwasher.

• Do not use aggressive, abrasive or alcoholic

detergents.

• After cleaning it with clear water, wipe the

surface and carefully dry it off. Subsequent-

ly, plug the mains plug with dry hands.

• In order to save energy and maintain the

ef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 appli-

ance cannot be damaged or even removed

while cleaning.

Defrosting

Defrosting the freezer

During normal use, the freezer compartment

does not need to be defrosted, only cleaned.

The formation of a thin frost layer is normal

and can be scraped off with the enclosed

scraper. If, however, an ice layer with a thick-

ness of more than 3 mm has formed inside,

the freezer compartment must be defrosted as

described below. Clean it at least twice a year.

• Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.

• Remove food from the freezer and store it

as cool as possible, e.g., together with ice

packs and covered in a plastic recipient.

Please remember that the lifetime of the

goods is shortened by the temperature

increase and that they should be consumed

as quickly as possible.

• Leave the door open. To speed up defrost-

ing, place one or more pots with hot but

not boiling water in the freezer.

• Warning! Do not use other mechanical

devices or any other means, e.g., heating

appliances, to speed up defrosting.

• Dry the freezer thoroughly after cleaning.

• Plug in the mains plug. Wait approx. 5

minutes and set the temperature controller

to the desired position.

Defrosting the refrigerator

The refrigerator does not have to be defrosted

but it does have to be cleaned.

The refrigerator‘s evaporator is xed into the

rear wall, which is why the rear walls can be-

come covered with frost. Whenever the com-

pressor is not working, frost can melt. The

resulting water is led through a hose system

to the basin on the compressor, where it then

evaporates due to the heat generated. When
