pull out the mains plug or disconnect/
unscrew the fuse.
NEVER clean the appliance with a steam
or steam pressure cleaner. The hot steam
may damage the surface and the electrics.
– Risk of electric shock!
Cleaning water must NOT drip onto the
control fitting or light. Clean the whole
appliance, except the door seal, with tepid
water containing a mild, lightly disinfecting
cleaning agent, e.g. liquid soap. Abrasive
and acidic cleaning agents and chemical
solvents are NOT suitable.
Wipe the door seal with water only and then
dry thoroughly.

To prevent damage to surfaces, under no
circumstances use abrasive sponges, metal
brushes, sharp-edged implements or
scouring agents. Chemically aggressive
cleaning agents, such as defrosting sprays,
oven sprays, solvents or stain removers
must not be used either.
* not on all models
l Install the appliance in a cool, well
ventilated room, but NOT in direct
sunlight and NOT near a heat source
(radiator, etc.).
l Do NOT block the ventilation slots on the
appliance.
l Allow warm food to cool down before
placing in the refrigerator.
l To thaw frozen products, place them in
the refrigerator compartment. The low
temperature of the frozen products is
then used to cool the food in the
refrigerator compartment.
l When inserting or removing food from the
appliance, open and close the doors as
quickly as possible.
Power saving tips
* Freezer tray
Fig.
D
The freezer tray is suitable for storing ice
cube trays and for freezing individual
berries, pieces of fruit, herbs and
vegetables.
To freeze individual items of food, distribute
the product uniformly on the freezer tray and
leave to freeze for approx. 10–12 hours.
Then transfer the product into freezer bags
or containers.
To thaw, spread out the individual items of
food.
Thawing frozen food
Depending on the type of food and intended
use, frozen products can be thawed:
At room temperature,
In the refrigerator,
In an electric oven,
With/without hot-air fan,
In a microwave.
Thawed meat and fish which has risen
above +3 °C for no more than one day (other
thawed food for no more than three days)
may be refrozen.
Otherwise, if flavour, odour and appearance
have changed, make a ready-made meal out
of the food and refreeze.
No longer store the frozen product for the
max. storage period.

Freezing and storing Information about
operating noises
Operating noises
To keep the selected temperature constant,
your appliance occasionally switches ON
the compressor.
The resulting noises are quite normal.
As soon as the appliance has reached the
operating temperature, the noises
automatically reduce in volume.
The humming noise is emitted by the motor
(compressor). When the motor switches ON,
the noise may briefly increase in volume.
The bubbling, gurgling or whirring noise is
emitted by the refrigerant as it flows through
the pipes.
The clicking noise can always be heard
when the thermostat switches ON/OFF the
motor.
A multi-zone or Nofrost appliance may emit
a low noise generated by the fan and air
flow inside the appliance.
A clicking noise may occur when
– the automatic defrosting system is active.
– the appliance is cooling down or warming
up (material expansion).
If these noises are excessively loud, the
causes are probably not serious and are
usually very easy to eliminate.
The appliance is not level
Please level the appliance with the aid of
a spirit level. Use the height-adjustable feet
or place packing under the feet.
The appliance is not free-standing
Please move the appliance away from
kitchen units or other appliances.
Drawers, baskets or shelves are loose or
stick
Please check the detachable components
and, if required, refit them.
Bottles and/or receptacles are touching
each other
Please move bottles and/or receptacles
away from each other.
