CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the freezer
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning the freezer.
• Use a sponge or cloth dampened in a mild solution of warm water and detergent. Do not use aggressive
or abrasive cleaners.
• Wipe all surfaces thoroughly and dry carefully.
• Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleaners containing gasoline on plastic
and rubber parts.
• Never use paper towels, window cleaners, cleaning powders or ammable liquids on plastic parts that
could scratch or otherwise damage the nish.
Defrosting
• Unplug the power cord, open the freezer door and move all food to a cool place.
• Remove ice with a plastic spatula or allow the temperature to rise naturally enough for the ice to melt.
• Then wipe o the remaining ice and water and plug the power cord back in.
Note: To prevent damage to the walls of the freezer compartment, do not use any sharp objects to defrost and
separate frozen food.
Long-term shutdown
If you do not intend to use the freezer for a longer period of time, proceed as follows:
• Pull the plug out of the outlet to disconnect the freezer from the power supply.
• Clean and dry the inside of the freezer as described in the "Cleaning the freezer" section.
• Leave the freezer door open to prevent unpleasant odors in the unused freezer.
TROUBLESHOOTING
You can solve a number of common problems on your own. If the refrigerator is not working properly, check
the following points before calling a service technician:
The freezer does not work
• The power cord is disconnected.
The door cannot be closed completely
• The drawers are not fully inserted in place.
• The seals are dirty.
• The freezer is not in a horizontal position.
Noisy freezer
• Make sure that the freezer is in a horizontal position and does not touch other appliances or kitchen
furniture.
The freezing in the freezer is insucient
• If the door has been opened for too long or too often, it will take some time for the freezer to reach the
set temperature.
• Check that the airow is not restricted behind the freezer due to insucient distance from the wall.
The following is neither a malfunction nor a problem.
• Bubbling noises caused by refrigerant owing in the piping.
• High compressor operating temperature.
USE AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE
Wrapping paper and corrugated paperboard – deliver to scrapyard. Packing foil, PE bags, plastic elements – throw into plastic
recycling containers.
