Notes on saving energy

▪

Leave the drawers, glass shelves and door trays in the positions they were in upon
delivery, if possible. This ensures the best possible temperature distribution.

▪

Only open the appliance doors when necessary and keep them open for as short a
time as possible. The sooner the appliance door is closed, the less cold air escapes.

▪

Allow hot or warm food to cool down before putting it in the appliance.

▪

Store food that releases moisture in closed containers or covered in the cooling com-
partment, if possible. Moisture can cause the rear wall of the refrigerator to ice up
more quickly and reduce its cooling output.

▪

Make sure the appliance doors close correctly. The door seal must align properly with
the appliance frame.

▪

Do not install the appliance near radiators, heating pipes or flues, and protect it
against direct sunlight.

Care and maintenance

9.1 

Cleaning

For hygienic food storage, the interior should be kept clean.

Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or scouring cloths.

This may damage the appliance.

▸ Every so often, use a mild soapy solution to wipe the interior and dry thoroughly. Oc-

casionally wipe with lemon water; this eliminates smells.

▸ Regularly inspect the door seals and if dirty clean using a soft brush. This prevents

them from sticking and getting damaged.

▸ Clean the operating and display elements just with a slightly damp cloth.
▸ When not in use for an extended period of time, switch the appliance

«off» via the 

 button. Clear out, defrost and clean the appliance, and leave the cool-

ing compartment door and freezer compartment door open.

Ensure that no cleaning water runs through the defrost drainage channel into the
evaporation tray.

9.2 

Defrosting

Defrosting the cooling compartment

The cooling compartment defrosts once a day automatically.

During defrosting, the temperature inside
the cooling compartment increases so that
the ice on the rear wall melts. The water
created when the ice melts collects in the
defrost channel, flows through the drain
hole and evaporates outside the appliance
in the evaporation tray.
