• put insulating material around the drawers,
e.g. blankets or newspapers.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing
bowls with hot water (not boiling) inside the
freezer.
• Loosen the drainage channel from its rest-
ing position, push it in according to the il-
lustration and place it in the bottom freezer
drawer where water can collect
• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to
thaw. Use a wood or a plastic scraper
• when all the ice has melted, clean and wipe
the cabinet dry, then put the drainage
channel back in place.
• switch on the cabinet, insert the plug into
the wall socket and replace the frozen
foodstuff.
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.

inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
What to do if…
During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often occur,
which does not require calling a technician
out. In the following chart information is given
about them to avoid unnecessary charges on
service.
Important!
The operation of the appliance
goes with certain sounds (compressor and
circulating sound). This not means a trouble,
but a normal operation.
Important!
The appliance operates
discontinuously, so the stopping of
compressor does not mean being no
current. That is why you must not touch the
electrical parts of the appliance before
breaking the circuit.
