Shutting Your Appliance Down - Electrolux IK 205 Z 10 RE Gebrauchsanweisung

Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. The con-
densate evaporates automatically through the compressor heat.
Freezer compartment
After a long period of operation, a layer of frost or ice can build up
inside the freezer compartment. This increases energy consump-
tion. You should therefore defrost the freezer compartment regularly.
• Pull out the plug or switch off the fuse.
• Wrap the frozen food in paper or blankets and store in a cool
place.
• To speed up the defrosting process, put a saucepan of hot but
not boiling water in the compartment.
• Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting. After
defrosting, mop up the remaining water and clean the appliance.
Do not use any mechanical devices or other
artificial aids for defrosting other than those
recommended by the manufactur er.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, always switch off the appliance. Disconnect
from the mains or unscrew or switch off the fuse.
• Clean the inside, equipment and outer walls with lukewarm water
and a little detergent. Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners or
chemical solvents.
• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical
components or ventilation grille.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the
appliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.
Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk
of injury and damage.
• To clean the NaturaFresh
drawers, pull the drawers right
out, grip at back and lift out.
- To insert: place drawers on
the fully extended rails closest
to the door handle side of the
appliance - the rails must align
with the front of the drawer - and
slide in.
Malfunctions
You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking
the possible causes yourself:
• Appliance does not function:
– Is the appliance switched on?
– Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket?
– Is the socket fuse intact?
• Loud running noise:
– Is the appliance set up firmly on the floor?
– Does the appliance cause nearby items of furniture or objects to
vibrate? Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant circuit
cannot be avoided.
• The temperature is not low enough:
– Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the temperature")?
– Have excessive amounts of fresh food been placed in the appli-
ance?
– Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct
reading?
– Is the ventilation system working properly?
– Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?
• The inside of the appliance may feel warm in places
– That is quite normal. The dissipated heat is necessary for normal
operation of the appliance.
If none of the above causes apply
and you cannot rectify the fault
yourself, contact the nearest
customer service department
stating the type of appliance ➊,
PNC number ➋ and appliance
number ➌ as indicated on the
type plate.
The position of the type plate
is shown in the section entitled Description of the appliance.
