Correct storage

For physical reasons, there
are different temperature
regions in the fridge. The
coldest region is on the
lowest storage shelf.
Warmer regions are the top
storage shelf, the vegetable
drawer and the storage
compartments on the door.
The arrangement example
shows at which places in
the refrigerator suitable
temperatures for various
types of foods exist.

Tip:
Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to pre-
vent drying and tainting of other food.
The following are suited for packaging:
Ð Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
Ð Plastic containers with lids;
Ð Special plastic covers with elastic;
Ð aluminium foil.

Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically

The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is
running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the
thawing frost evaporates by itself.

Cleaning and Care

For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior acces-
sories, should be cleaned regularly.

Warning!

¥ The appliance must 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 disconnect from the elec-
tricity supply.
¥ Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components and there is a danger of an
electrical shock. Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic
parts.
¥ The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.

Important!

¥ Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
Ð lemon juice or the juice from orange peals;
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 the food from the refrigerator. Store it in a cool place, well
covered.

2.
Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or dis-
connect from the electricity supply

3.
Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and luke-
warm water.

4.
After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.

5.
Check the water drain hole (F) under
the vegetable drawers of the fridge is
not blocked. Clear a blocked drain hole
with the aid of the green peg (P) in the
pack of accessories included with the
appliance.

6.
After everything is dry place appliance
back into service.

An accumulation of dust will affect
the performance of the appliance and
cause excessive electricity consump-
tion. The structure of the appliance
permits you to clean the rear zone
close to the wall, using a vacuum
cleaner.

+
1.
Remove the plinth (1), then the venti-
lation grid (2);

2.
Carefully pull the air deflector out (3),
checking that there is no water left from the defrosting.

Energy Saving Tips
¥ Do not install the appliance near boilers, radiators or other sourcesof heat. 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.
¥ Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary.
¥ Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.

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 Service Force Centre.

What to do if ...
The compressor does not
start immediately after
changing the temperature
setting.
This is normal, no error has
occurred.
Water in the bottom of
the cabinet.Water drain hole is
blocked.See the ÒCleaning and
CareÓ section.
The compressor starts after
a period of time.

SymptomPossible CauseRemedy

Appliance does not work.
Appliance is not switched
on.
Mains plug is not plugged
in or is loose.
Fuse has blown or is defec-
tive
Socket is defective.
Mains malfunctions are to
be corrected by an
electrician.
Switch on the appliance.
Insert mains plug.
Check fuse, replace if nec-
essary.
Temperature is set too
cold.Turn the thermostat knob
to a warmer setting tem-
porarily.The compressor runs con-
tinuously.
Light bulb is defective.Interior lighting does not
work.Please look in the ÒChanging
the Light BulbÓ section.
The food is too warm.
Temperature is not proper-
ly adjusted.Please look in the ÒInitial
Start UpÓ 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.
Do not leave the door open
any longer than nec essary.
Turn the thermostat knob
to a colder setting tem-
porarily.
Please look in the
ÒInstallation locationÓ section.
Heavy build up of frost,
possibly also on the door
seal.Door seal is not airtight
(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.

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.

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.
