Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer rea-
ches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions
below:
• pull out the plug from the wall socket or
switch off the appliance
• remove any stored food, wrap it in sever-
al layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place
• leave the door open and insert the plastic
scraper in the appropriate seating at the
bottom centre, placing a basin under-
neath to collect the defrost water
• when defrosting is completed, dry the in-
terior thoroughly and keep the scraper for
future use

What to do if...

Warning! Before troubleshooting,
disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
Only a qualified electrician or compe-
tent person must do the troubleshoot-
ing that is not in this manual.
Problem
The appliance does not
operate. The lamp does
not operate.
Possible cause
The appliance is switched off.
The mains plug is not connected
to the mains socket correctly.
• turn the thermostat knob back to the re-
quired setting or replace the plug in the
power socket
• after two or three hours, reload the previ-
ously removed food into the compart-
ment.
It is recommended to operate the ap-
pliance at the highest position of the
thermostatic control for some hours so
that it can reach the sufficient storing
temperature as soon as possible.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evaporator as you
could damage it. Do not use a mechanical
device or any artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appli-
ance and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to prevent
the food inside from spoiling in case of a
power failure.
Important! There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refrigerant
circulation).
Switch on the appliance.
Connect the mains plug to the
mains socket correctly.
