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 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

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

setting the temperature controller, avoid per-

manent frost without a defrost phase.

Make sure that the drain gully and the drain

opening are not blocked so that the water

produced in the refrigerator can always ow

off unobstructed.

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 avoid-

ed, 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

withdrawing or putting food inside. Other-

wise, the formation of ice in the interior will

be accelerated.

• 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.

Disposal

Appliances that are marked with

this symbol have to be disposed of

separately from household rubbish.

These appliances contain valuable

resources that can be recycled. A

correct waste disposal protects the

environment and the health of those around

you. To get informed about it, either defer to

your municipal administration or the retailer.

• Pull the mains plug out of the socket and

disconnect it from the appliance before

getting rid of it.

• The cooling medium Isobutane

(R600a) and the propellant in the

isolation Cyclopentane (C5H10)

are inammable substances,

thus, need to be appropriately disposed of.

• Make sure the tubes of the cooling circuit

don’t get damaged before the proper

disposal.
