Defrosting
Defrosting is fully automatic, controlled by
a sensor which ensures that cooling does
not start until the evaporator has been
completely defrosted.
If, nevertheless, an unusual amount of fro-
st does build up, manual defrosting is pos-
sible by turning the temperature regulating
knob counterclockwise to "0" and waiting
for the frost to disappear.
Once the evaporator is free of ice, start the
cooling again by turning the temperature
regulating knob clockwise towards "Max.".
Do not turn the knob right back to its "old"
position.
Cleaning
The cabinet is best cleaned with a weak
soap solution.
Do not use cleaning agents that might
cause scratches.
The life of the sealing strip will be pro-
longed if it is clened regularly.
The plastic parts cannot withstand boiling
water (max. temp. 85°C).
Useful hints
Door sticking:
Opening and closing the door creates
underpressure in the cabinet. If you need
to open and close the door repeatedly
within a short period, lay something betw-
een the door sealing strip and cabinet front
edge to create an air gap.
The refrigerator is to remain unused for
a time
After the refrigerator has been defrosted
and cleaned, leave the door slightly ajar.
This will prevent bad smells.

Compressor does not run
- Check the temperature setting.
- Check to ensure that power is switched
on and that the plug has been properly
inserted into the wall socket.
Unfamiliar sounds
Can be caused by tubes in the appliance
contacting each other or the outer cladding.
- Check to make sure the refrigerator is
standing level.
Liquid noice
Caused by circulating refrigerant. This is
quite normal, even when the compressor is
not running.
Note also
The compressor starting system often
needs a pause before it can be restarted.
The compressor will itself automatically
decide how long the pause is to be.
Blocked defrost/melt water drain
If blockage does occur, the most likely point
is the plastic bend at the outlet inside the
cabinet. Carefully remove the blockage,
then for safety's sake clean the bend with a
pipe cleaner or similar.
If the problem persists, the blockage might
be in the tube down to the evaporation tray.
The tray is located above the compressor
at the rear of the refrigerator.
Spare parts
When ordering spare parts, please give the
refrigerator type and part number. This
information is given on the nameplate
inside the cabinet.
Replacing the bulb
Use a 15 Watt, 240 Volt bulb with a
miniature base.
Turn the lock a quarter turn and re-

move the screen
