Troubleshooting - BOMANN DTR 353.1 Instruction Manual

WARNING:
 The unit must be dry before restarting operation.
CAUTION:
 Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive
items.
 Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
 Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Cleaning the appliance including interior
 Clean the appliance interior, the exterior surfaces,
the accessories and the door seal regularly with
warm water and mild detergent; or with a clean,
damp microfiber cloth without cleaning agent.
 Remove the appliance content and storage it at a
cool location.
 Clean the thaw water discharge channel / opening
carefully e.g. with a pipe cleaner.
 After everything was thoroughly dried, you can
restart the operation.
Defrosting
CAUTION:
Never use metal objects (e.g. knifes) to remove ice
from the evaporator. Otherwise it can be damaged.
The fridge has an automatic defrosting system. Dur-
ing defrosting water drops drains off at the back of
the cooling chamber. The thaw water running
through a channel, is collected in a drip tray located
on the compressor, where it will evaporate. Make
sure the water discharge opening does not get
clogged. A light formation of ice on the interior back
during operation is normal.
To achieve better cooling and to save energy, defrost
the freezer regularly as follows:
 To start the defrosting process, turn the tempera-
ture control to the off state and disconnect the
plug or turn off the fuse.
 Remove the food items and keep covered at a
cool location.
 When the ice has melted, wipe the condensate
away and dry the appliance interior.
 Then you may restart the appliance by connecting
the plug and turning the temperature control.
Changing the bulb
Lamp specifications: 220-240 V ~ / max. 10 W
