Malfunction

NOTICE*

The stainless steel doors are provided with a high-quality
surface coating and must not be treated using the accompa­nying care product.

Otherwise the surface coating will be affected.

Wipe the coated door surfaces using a soft, clean cloth

u

only. In case of stubborn dirt, use a little water or a neutral
cleaning agent. A microfibre cloth can be optionally used.
If the stainless steel side walls are dirty, clean them using

u

a commercially available stainless steel cleaning agent.
Then evenly apply the accompanying stainless steel care
product, making strokes in the direction of the grain.
Wipe side walls with a paint finish using a soft, clean

u

cloth only. In case of stubborn dirt, use a little water or a
neutral cleaning agent. A microfibre cloth can be optionally
used.

Do not apply stainless steel cleaning agent to glass or plastic
surfaces to prevent them from being scratched. Darker areas at
the beginning and quite an intensive colour of the stainless
steel surface are normal.*

→

needed. Although the running time is increased as a result,
energy is saved.
This is normal in energy-saving models.

u

SuperFrost is activated.

→

The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the

u

food. This is normal.

Excessive noise.

Speed-controlled* compressors may produce varying

→

running noise due to different speed steps.
