Before placing food in the freezer

Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
–in a microwave oven,
–in an oven using the Fan or
Defrost setting,
–at room temperature,
–in the refrigerator (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep the
other food cold),
–in a steam oven.
PoultryIt is particularly important to
observe food hygiene rules when
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away
and wash the container it was in, the
sink and your hands. Danger of
salmonella poisoning....

Refrigerator section
The refrigerator defrosts automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
whilst it is in use. You do not need to
remove this, as it will defrost and
evaporate automatically with the
warmth generated by the appliance.
The condensate is drained away via a
channel and drain hole into an
evaporation system at the back of the
appliance.
Ensure that the condensate channel
and drain hole are kept clean and
are never blocked so that
condensate...

Do not allow water to get into the
electronic unit, lighting or ventilation
openings.
Cleaning water must not get into the
condensate drain hole.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the appliance. Steam could reach
the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
The data plate located inside the
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information which is
necessary in the event of a service
call.
To avoid damaging the surfaces of
your appliance, do not use:

The temperature of the dishwashing
programme selected must not
exceed 55 °C.
Contact with natural dyes from
carrots, tomatoes and ketchup may
discolour the plastic parts in the
dishwasher. This discolouration
does not affect the stability of the
parts.
Clean the interior shelves and
compartments by hand. These are
notsuitable for cleaning in a
dishwasher.
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently so that
condensate can drain away
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to
clear the drain if...

Ventilation gaps
The ventilation openings should be
cleaned regularly with a brush or
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust
will increase the energy consumption
of the appliance.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
The metal grille at the back of the
appliance (heat exchanger) should be
dusted at least once a year. A build-up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
Make sure that the cable and other
components do not get broken off,
bent or damaged in any way during
cleaning....

This is not a fault. The suction caused
by opening and closing the door is
preventing the door from opening. Wait
