of -18°C and lower.

The air temperature in the compartment, measured by thermom-

eter or other instruments, may fluctuate.

Notes on freezing

• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reuseable plastic,

metal or aluminium containers.

• Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not

exceed the stated storage time for the food.

• Only take out as much food as is immediately required for

thawing. Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals

as quickly as possible.

Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:

– in a fan oven

– in a microwave oven

– at room temperature

– in the refrigerator

Cooling with fan

With the fan function switched on, a uniform temperature distribu-

tion will be attained in the refrigerator compartment.

• Place the fresh food in the freezer.

• After approx. 24 hours the fresh food will be frozen.

• Now set the temperature to the normal setting.

Deep frozen food can be placed into the cold freezer compart-

ment straight away.

CAUTION

Do not freeze bottles and cans of drinks. They

can burst during the freezing process.

50

Cleaning

Before cleaning, always switch off the appliance. Discon-

nect from the mains or switch off the fuse!

• Clean the inside and equipment parts with lukewarm water and

a little detergent. Do not use chemical solvents or any cleaning

agents containing sand or acid.

• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates

grille.

• Dry all parts well with a cloth.

• Do not damage or remove the type plate on

the inside of the appliance. It is very important

for servicing purposes.

• Clean the drain hole in the refrigerator

compartment with a thin object, e.g. cot-

ton swab or the like.

CAUTION

Risk of damage to the appliance components

and risk of injury due to hot steam.

Do not use steam cleaning equipment to clean

the appliance.

Malfunctions

• F0, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8 or F9 appears in the display.

– The appliance has suffered a fault.

Contact the customer service department.

• When inserting the mains plug, the refrigeration unit does

not switch on, but a value is shown in the temperature

display.

– Demo mode is activated.

Contact the customer service department.

You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking

the possible causes yourself:

• Appliance does not function:

– Is the appliance switched on?

– Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket?

– Is the fuse intact?

• Loud running noise:

– Is the appliance set up firmly on the floor?

– Does the appliance cause nearby items of furniture or objects

to vibrate? Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant

circuit cannot be avoided.

• The temperature is not low enough:

– Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the tempera-

ture")?

– Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct

reading?

– Is the ventilation system working properly?

– Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?

If none of the above causes apply

and you cannot rectify the fault

yourself, contact the nearest

customer service department

stating the type designation

1,

PNC number

2 and appliance

number

3 as indicated on the

type plate.

The position of the type plate is shown in the section entitled

Description of the appliance.

Shutting your appliance down

If your appliance is to be shut down for any length of time, switch

it off and disconnect the plug or switch off or unscrew the fuse.

unpleasant smells.

The appliance complies with the relevant safety regulations and

EC directives 2004/108/EC and 2006/95/EC.

Defrosting

The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically.

Freezer compartment

After a long period of operation, a layer of frost or ice can build up

on the walls of the freezer compartment. This increases energy

consumption.

• Pull out the plug or switch off the fuse!

• Wrap the frozen food in paper or blankets and store in a cool

place.

• Leave the appliance door and the freezer compartment door

open when defrosting.

• After a defrosting time of approx. 20 minutes, the layer of frost

or ice can be detached from the interior container by hand and

removed.

appliance.

CAUTION

Risk of damage to the refrigerant circuit and

flammability hazard due to leaking refrigerant.

Do not use any mechanical devices or other

artificial aids for defrosting other than those

recommended by the manufactur er.
