Ice-cube tray
The ice-cube tray is for producing and keeping ice
cubes in.
1. Fill the ice-cube tray ¾ full of drinking water and
place in the frozen food container.
2. If the ice-cube tray is stuck to the freezer
compartment, loosen with a blunt implement only
(spoon-handle).
3. To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice-cube tray
slightly or hold briefly under flowing water.
Switching off and shutting
down the appliance
Switch off the appliance
Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the
circuit-breaker.
Putting the appliance out of service

1. Remove all food from the appliance.
2. Switch off the appliance.
3. Defrost the appliance.
4. Clean the appliance.
5. Leave the appliance door open.
Defrosting
Freezer compartment
A layer of frost in the freezer compartment impairs the
cooling effect on the frozen food and increases the
power consumption. If there is a layer of frost, you must
defrost the appliance.
General tips
■
When putting food in or taking food out, open the
appliance door for as little time as possible.
■
Do not install the appliance in a damp room. A high
level of humidity aids the formation of frost.
■
Package fresh food so that it is as air-tight as
possible.
m
Caution
Do not scrape away the layer of ice using a knife or a
sharp object. You could damage the refrigerant pipes. If
refrigerant shoots out, it may ignite or cause eye
injuries.
Defrosting the appliance
1. Turn the temperature controller to the coldest
temperature approx. 3 hours before the defrosting
to ensure that the food is thoroughly frozen.
2. After 3 hours, switch off the appliance.
3. Take out the food and store it in a cool place. Place
an ice block (if you have one) on the food.
4. Leave the appliance door open.
5. Put a wiping cloth in front of the appliance to collect
water that might escape during the defrosting
process.
6. Wait until the layer of ice can be removed.
7. Remove the layer of ice, clean the freezer
compartment and wipe dry its inside.
8. Switch on the appliance and put the food back in.
Defrosting aids
To speed up the defrosting process, you can use a
plastic scraper to remove the layer of ice.
m
Caution
Never use electrical appliances, defrosting sprays or
open flames to defrost the freezer, e.g. heaters, steam-
cleaning appliances, candles, oil lamps, etc. Do not
place any saucepans containing hot water in the
appliance in order to speed up the defrosting.
Cleaning the appliance
m
Caution
■
Do not use gritty, acidic or chlorine-based cleaning
agents or solvents.
■
Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or sponges that
may scratch surfaces. This may lead to corrosion of
the metallic surfaces.
■
Never clean the containers in the dishwasher. The
parts may warp.
Proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the appliance before cleaning.
2. Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off
the circuit-breaker.
3. Take out the food and store it in a cool place. Place
an ice block (if you have one) on the food.
4. Wait until the layer of frost has thawed out.
5. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, lukewarm
water, and a little pH-neutral washing-up liquid. The
washing-up liquid solution must not be allowed to
run into the evaporation tray through the drain hole.
6. Only wipe the door seal with clean water and then
rub it until it is dry.
