• 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., heat-
ing appliances, to speed up defrosting.
• Dry the freezer thoroughly after clean-
ing.
• Plug in the mains plug. Wait approx.
5 minutes and set the temperature
controller to the desired position.
Defrosting the refrigerator
The refrigerator does not have to be de-
frosted but it does have to be cleaned.
The refrigerator's evaporator is fixed
into the rear wall, which is why the rear
walls can become covered with frost.
Whenever the compressor is not working,
frost can melt. The resulting water is led
through a hose system to the basin on
the compressor, where it then evaporates
due to the heat generated. When setting
the temperature controller, avoid perma-
nent frost without a defrost phase.
Make sure that the drain gully and the
drain opening are not blocked so that the
water produced in the refrigerator can
always flow off unobstructed.
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 withdrawing or putting food
inside. Otherwise, the formation of ice
in the interior will be accelerated.
• 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 com-
pressor. When the
compressor starts to
operate, then the noises get slightly
louder for a short time.
• Noises in the tubes of the circulation of
the refrigerant.
