Setting the temperature values
Whentheunitisswitchedon,thedisplaywillinitiallyshowbriey

indicate that the temperature in the oven can no longer be held at
theworkingtemperature,ifthepowerisoffforanextendedperiod.
Thecontrolswillcontinuetooperatenormally,evenifthedisplay

Cleaning
Clean the appliance at least twice per year.
Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out the
mains plug or switch off or unscrew the fuse.

purposes.
•Important! The compressor and other parts may
stillbehotfromoperation.
Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk
of injury and damage.
Defrosting
Whenoperatingataverycoldthermostatsetting,theinteriorrear
wallmayiceup.
Inthiscase,theappliancemustbedefrostedmanually.
•Pull out the mains plug!
•Leavethedooroftheapplianceopenwhiledefrosting.
Defrostedwatercollectsinanevaporatortrayandis

andcleantheappliance.
Do not use any mechanical devices or other
artificial aids for defrosting other than those
recommended by the manufactur er.
Shutting your appliance down
Ifyourapplianceistobeshutdownforanylengthoftime,switch

Cleantheapplianceandleavethedooropeninordertoprevent
unpleasantsmells.
The permissible room temperature for storing the appliance
after decommissioning is between -10°C and +50°C.
Storing the appliance outside this temperature range can
damage the appliance and cause it to malfunction.
Theappliancecomplieswiththerelevantsafetyregulationsand
ECDirectives2004/108/ECand2006/95/EC.
