Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will al-
ways form around the top com-
partment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost
layer reaches a thickness of about
3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1.
Switch off the appliance.
2.
Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.
3.
Open the door.
4.
When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly.
5.
Switch on the appliance.
6.
Set the temperature regulator to ob-
tain the maximum coldness and run
the appliance for two or three hours
using this setting.
7.
Reload the previously removed food
into the compartment.
WARNING!
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evapora-
tor 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 man-
ufacturer. A temperature rise of
the frozen food packs, during de-
frosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.
5.4
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 pre-
vent the food inside from spoiling in case
of a power failure.
6.
WHAT TO DO IF…
WARNING!
Before troubleshooting, discon-
nect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
Only a qualified electrician or com-
petent person must do the trou-
bleshooting that is not in this man-
ual.
There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refriger-
ant circulation).
