[. . . ] Numbered instructions guide you step by step in the operation of the appliance. . . . 3 2 Supplementary information regarding operation and practical applications of the appliance appear after this symbol. Tips and notes concerning economical and environmentally sound use of the appliance are marked with the cloverleaf. Explanations of the technical terminology used in the operating instructions can be found at the end in the section "Technical Terminology". The operating instructions contain instructions for the correction of possible malfunctions by the user in the section "What to do, if . . . ". [. . . ] The fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also "Defrosting" section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost on the fridge rear wall. If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting (position "4" to "5"). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced. 3 Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on, because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached. Wait until the freezer compartment has reached a temperature of ­18 °C, before storing frozen food. 3 Note: From a food science point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator compartment and 18 °C for the freezer compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature. The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior temperature: ­ Ambient temperature; ­ Quantity and temperature of the food stored; ­ Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open ­ A defect in the appliance. 28 Switching off the appliance 1. To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position "0". If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 1. Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position "0". 2. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours. Interior Accessories Storage Shelves Your appliance is equipped with glass storage shelves. A glass storage shelf must be inserted into the lower guide track above the fruit and vegetable trays. Use a spoon handle or similar. Defrosting The fridge defrosts automatically The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost is collected in the drain channel on the rear of the fridge, feed through the drain hole into the collector on the compressor, and then evaporated. The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section "Cleaning and Maintenance". Defrosting the freezer compartment During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, moisture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has reached a thickness of approx. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty or contains only little food. Remove the stopper from the melt-water outlet and place a bowl underneath it to catch the meltwater. 1 · Warning!Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the exception of those recommended in these operating instructions. · Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health and/or contain substances that damage plastics. A few hours before defrosting, set the temperature controller to 6 in order to create a refrigeration reserve in the frozen food. Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it, covered, in a cool place. Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off the circuit breaker. Attention! [. . . ] To change the light bulb, undo the cross head screw and remove the light bulb cover. Refit the light bulb cover and the cross head screw. 3 Noises during Operation The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances: · Clicks Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard. · · Humming As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming. Bubbling/Splashing When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises. [. . . ]
