• If the appliance is turned off for a longer period
of time, e.g., because of a mains failure, leave
the door closed. Thereby, a more significant loss
of cooling energy can be avoided. The maxi-
mum storage time during malfunction can be
taken from the appliance specification sheet at
the end of the manual. Because of the higher
interior temperature, the storage time for food is
shortened.
Data for expiry dates of frozen food are indicated in
the chart per month.
Do not store the frozen food longer than the given
time in the freezer. Pay attention to the expiry date
of the frozen food indicated by producer.
Making ice cubes
A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice
cubes. Fill the tray up to ¾ with drinking water and
place it in the freezer compartment for a few hours.
The ice cubes are easier to remove from the tray if
the tray is left standing at room temperature for 5
minutes.
Cleaning and Defrosting (Maintenance)
Cleaning
• Always pull the mains plug before cleaning.
• Do not pour water into the appliance.
• Tepid water with a bit of washing-up liquid is
suitable for the regular maintenance.
• Clean the equipment separately with rinsing
water, not in the dishwasher.
• Do not use aggressive, abrasive or alcoholic
detergents.
• After cleaning it with clear water, wipe the sur-
face and carefully dry it off. Subsequently, plug
the mains plug with dry hands.
• In order to save energy and maintain the effi-
ciency, you should clean the condenser (on the
backside) and the compressor at least twice a
year with a broom or vacuum cleaner.
• The rating label in the interior of the appliance
cannot be damaged or even removed while
cleaning.

Defrosting
If the ice layer in the interior is 2-4 mm thick, the
appliance must be defrosted. Clean it at least twice
a year.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
• Remove food from the appliance and store it as
cool as possible, e.g., together with ice packs
and covered in a plastic recipient. Please remem-
ber that the lifetime of the goods is shortened by
the temperature increase and that they should be
consumed as quickly as possible.
• Leave the door open. To speed up defrosting,
place one or more pots with hot but not boiling
water in the freezer.
• Warning! Do not use other mechanical devices
or any other means, e.g., heating appliances, to
speed up defrosting.
• Dry the appliance thoroughly after cleaning.
• Plug in the mains plug. Wait approx. 5 minutes
and set the temperature controller to the desired
position.
Tips for Energy Saving
• For the installation of the appliance, choose a
cool, dry and well-aired room.
• Protect the appliance from direct insolation. It
should not be installed near heat sources (stove,
heater etc.). If this cannot be avoided, some sort
of isolation between heat source and appliance
has to be used.
• Don't cover the ventilation openings and grid.
Provide enough circulation of air on the backside
of the appliance.
• Let warm food cool down before you store it in
the fridge.
• Do not leave the door open too long when with-
drawing or putting food inside. Otherwise, the
formation of ice in the interior will be accelerat-
ed.
• Do not set the temperature lower than necessary.
More details on temperature settings can be
taken from the chapter 'Operating elements'.
Operation Noises
There might be some typical operation noises when
the appliance is turned on. These are:
• Noise of the electric motor
is arising from the working
compressor. When the com-
pressor starts to operate,
then the noises get slightly
louder for a short time.
• Noises in the tubes of the circulation of the
refrigerant.
