47 Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior acces- sories, should be cleaned regularly. Warning! ¥ The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. ¥ Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts. ¥ The appliance must be dry before it is switched back on. Important! ¥ Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. Ð lemon juice or the juice from orange peel; Ð butyric acid; Ð cleansers which contain acetic acid. Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts. ¥ Do not use any abrasive cleansers. +1.Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well cov- ered. 2.Defrost the freezer compartment prior to cleaning (see ÒDefrostingÓ section). 3.Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or dis- connect from the electricity supply. 4.Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and luke- warm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litres of water). 5.After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry. 6.Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of the fridge. Clear a blocked drain hole with the aid of the green peg in the pack of accessories included with the appli- ance. 7.After everything is dry switch the appliance back on.
48 Energy Saving Tips ¥ Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. ¥ Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings. ¥ Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first. ¥ Only leave the door open as long as necessary. ¥ Do not set temperature any colder than necessary. ¥ Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will then be used to cool the fridge. What to do if ... Correcting Malfunctions A malfunction may be caused by only a minor fault that you can recti- fy yourself using the following instructions. Do not perform any other work on the appliance if the following information does not provide assistance in your specific case. Important!Repairs to refrigerators/freezers may only be performed by competent service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to signifi- cant hazards for the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your specialist dealer or your local Customer Care Department. Symptom Appliance does not work. Possible Cause Appliance is not switched on. Mains plug is not plugged in or is loose. Fuse has blown or is defective Socket is defective. Mains malfunctions are to be corrected by an electri- cian. Temperature is set too cold.Press ã+Ò (WARMER) button. Remedy Switch on the appliance. Insert mains plug. Check fuse, replace if necessary. Appliance cools too much.
What to do if... 49 SymptomPossible CauseRemedy The temperature display shows Ò ¨Ó. The electronics in the appliance have detected a fault that prevents the ACTUAL temperature being measured.The appliance will continue to function using a backup programme until your local Customer Service engineer has repaired the appliance. The food is too warm. Temperature is not proper- ly adjusted.Please look in the ÒStarting up and Temperature regu- lationÓ section. Door was open for an extended period. A large quantity of warm food was placed in the appliance within the last 24 hours. The appliance is near a heat source. Open the door only as long as necessary. Turn the temperature regulator to a colder set- ting temporarily. Please look in the ÒInstallation locationÓ section. Light bulb is defective.Interior lighting does not work.Please look in the ÒChanging the light bulbÓ section. Heavy build up of frost, possibly also on the door seal.Door seal is not air tight (possibly after reversing the door). Carefully warm the leaking sections of the door seal with a hair dryer (on a cool setting). At the same time shape the warmed door seal by hand such that it sits correctly. Water on the floor or on storage shelves.Water drain hole is blocked.See the ÒCleaning and CareÓ section. Temperature cannot be setCOOLMATIC or FROSTMAT- IC functions switched on. Switch off COOLMATIC or FROSTMATIC manually, or wait to set the tempera- ture until the function has reset automatically (refer also to COOLMATIC/FROST- MATIC section).
50 SymptomPossible CauseRemedy The compressor does not start immediately after pressing the COOLMATIC or FROSTMATIC button, or after changing the tem- perature setting. This is normal, no error has occurred.The compressor starts after a period of time. Changing the light bulb Warning!There is a risk of electric shocks! Before changing the light bulb, switch off the appliance and unplug it, or disconnect from the mains supply. Light bulb data: 220-240 V, max. 25 W +1.To switch off, press the ON/OFF button until the mains power light extinguishes. 2.Unplug the mains plug. 3.To change the light bulb, press on the rear hook and at the same time slide the light bulb cover in the direction indicated by the arrow. 4.Change the faulty light bulb. 5.Refit the light bulb cover. 6.Put the refrigerator back into opera- tion. Noises during Operation The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances: ¥ Clicks Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard. ¥ Humming As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming. ¥ Bubbling/Splashing When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises. Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise can be heard for a short time.

52 Technical terminology ¥ Refrigerant Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise. ¥ Refrigerant Circuit Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refriger- ant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a con- denser and pipe work. ¥ Evaporator The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed from the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled. The evaporator is therefore located inside the appliance or placed in foam immediately behind the inner wall and thus not visible. ¥ Compressor The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven by a built-in electric motor and is mounted on the base of the appliance at the rear. The task of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refrigerant from the evaporator, to compress it, and to pass it on to the con- denser. ¥ Condenser The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The refrigerant com- pressed in the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. During this process, heat is released to the surrounding air at the surface of the condenser. The condenser is mounted on the base of the appliance.
