• It is the noise made by the refrigerant, which occurs even when the 

compressor is off (this is not a defect).

If after the checks the appliance still does not operate or the problem 

persists, call the nearest Service Centre, communicating: type of 

malfunction, appliance model (

Mod.

) and Serial Number (

SN

). This information 

can be found on the data plate located on the back of the appliance.

Never call on unauthorized technicians and always refuse 

spare parts which are not originals.

Do not disassemble the appliance and attempt to repair it yourself. 

Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or 

serious malfunctioning. 

TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING

The green light is off

Check if:

• There is power to the unit;

• The main power switch to the house is on.

The red alarm light is always on

Check if:

• The lid is closed properly and the seal is still OK;

• The lid is being opened too often;

• The temperature knob is on the right setting;

• There is too much frost build-up.

The motor runs constantly

Check if:

• The lid is closed properly and the seal is still OK;

• The lid is being opened too often;

• In the internal surfaces there is too much ice;

• The thermostat is on the right setting;

• The outside temperature is too high.

The appliance makes too much noise

Check if:

• The freezer is levelled;

• The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate 

and make noise;

Install the appliance correctly

This means that the appliance should be installed away from sourc-

es of heat or direct sunlight, in a well-ventilated room.

Correct temperature settings

Set the freezer temperature knob to one of the medium settings. 

Very low temperatures will not only consume a great deal of energy, 

but will neither improve nor lengthen the storage life of the food.

Shut the lid

Open your appliance only when strictly necessary – every time you open 

the lid most of the cold air will be lost. In order to restore the correct 

temperature, the motor will have to run and consume energy.

Check the lid seals

Keep the seals clean and pliable so that they fit closely against the 

lid to ensure that no cold air is lost.

Avoid frost build-up

Remember to check the sides of the freezer for frost. When the frost 

becomes too thick, defrost the freezer immediately (See, “

Maintain

-

ing the Appliance

”).

MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE

MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE

Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the 

electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general 

switch in your home).

Defrosting

WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.

It is a good idea to remove the frost build up from the inside of the 

appliance from time to time.

Make sure not to use pointed metal objects to do so, as this could 

result in piercing the refrigeration circuits, causing irreparable 

damage to the appliance. Use a not-pointed tool in plastic material.

To defrost the freezer completely (which should be done once or 

twice a year), disconnect the appliance from the power supply and 

leave the lid open until all the frost has melted.

The freezer is equipped with a system to drain the water from the 

defrosting procedure. Simply, place a container in the position 

indicated in Fig 1.1 or Fig 1.2. To speed up defrosting, one or more 

pots of warm water can be placed inside the appliance.

While defrosting the freezer, it is a good idea to wrap the food taken 

from the freezer in several layers of paper and place it in a cool 

place. Since the temperature of the frozen food will inevitably rise, it 

is best to consume it quickly as its storage life will have been 

shortened.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The inside of the freezer should be cleaned on a periodic basis after 

it has been defrosted. Only use a water and bicarbonate solution to 

clean the appliance.

Do not use abrasive cleaning products, detergents or soap. After 

the inside has been cleaned, rinse well with clean water and dry 

carefully. Once the appliance has been cleaned, turn on the 

appliance, following the instructions in “

Setting Up Your 

Appliance

”.

Replace / removal light source (if present)*

pushing the ends of the cover indicated in figures Fig 2.1 or Fig 2.2.

3. Remove the old LED by unscrewing it in an anti-clockwise 

direction. 

4. Replace with a new similar LED light by screwing it in a clockwise 

direction making sure that it is secure in the light holder. 

5. Refit the light cover and re-connect your appliance to the mains 

supply and switch on. 

This product contains a light source of energy efficiency class G (if 

present).

When not in use

Should the unit not be used for a long period of time (for example 

during the summer holidays), disconnect the plug from the mains 

and leave the lid open to avoid the formation of mould and 

unpleasant odours after completing the defrosting and cleaning 

operations.
