Making ice cubes
A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill the tray 3/4 full with drinking water and
place it in the freezer compartment. The ice cubes are easier to remove from the tray if the tray is left
standing at room temperature for 5 minutes.
Cleaning and de-frosting
After a certain period of operation and depending on several factors (e.g. how often the door has
been opened), a layer of ice will form on the evaporators located below the drawers and on the
drawer fronts themselves. Once the build-up of ice has reached a thickness of 3 to 5 mm, the unit
must be de-frosted.
The build-up of ice increases the power consumption of the appliance.
When de-frosting the unit
–
Ensure that the plug has been removed from the wall socket,
–
Remove all food from the freezer, place it into a plastic container, add pre-frozen freezer-packs
and cover the container to keep the inside temperature down.
–
Leave the freezer door open.
–
To accelerate defrosting, one or several containers with hot (but not boiling) water may be placed
inside the freezer compartment.
Warning: Do not use any external device or other means (e.g. heaters or heating fans) to accelerate
de-frosting.
–
Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
–
For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm water with some mild detergent. Any
accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
–
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions or any cleaning agents that contain alcohol.
–
After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces again with fresh water before wiping them
completely dry. When re-inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you have dry hands.
–
Turn the temperature control to its maximum setting. After 24 hours, the temperature control
can be returned to its normal setting.
–
Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning.
–
To save energy, the compressor (at the rear) should be cleaned carefully at least twice a year with
a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Trouble-shooting
Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is switched on. These sounds are:
–
caused by the electrical motor within the compressor assembly;
during compressor start-up the sound level will be slightly higher
for a limited period of time.
–
caused by the cooling agent flowing through the circuit.
The following table lists the possible malfunctions, their probable causes and solutions. In the event
of operational problems, check first whether a solution can be found using this table. If the problem
persists, disconnect the appliance from the mains power and contact our Customer Service
Department.
