6.4 Defrosting the refrigerator

6.5 Defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment of this model,
on the other hand, is a "no frost" type.
This means that there is no buildup of
frost when it is in operation, neither on the
internal walls nor on the foods.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING

CAUTION!
Before troubleshooting, discon-
nect the power supply.
Only a qualified electrician or com-
petent person must do the trou-
bleshooting that is not in this man-
ual.
Problem
The appliance is
noisy.
The compressor op-
erates continually.
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compart-
ment every time the motor compressor
stops, during normal use. The defrost wa-
ter drains out through a drain hole into a
special container at the back of the appli-
ance, over the motor compressor, where
it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the de-
frost water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to pre-
vent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which
you will find already inserted into the drain
hole.
The absence of frost is due to the contin-
uous circulation of cold air inside the
compartment, driven by an automatically
controlled fan.
Possible cause
The appliance is not sup-
ported properly.
The Temperature regulator
may be set incorrectly.
The door is not closed
correctly.
The door has been
opened too frequently.
The product temperature
is too high.
There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refriger-
ant circulation).
Solution
Check if the appliance
stands stable (all the four
feet should be on the floor).
Set a warmer temperature.
Refer to "Closing the door".
Do not keep the door open
longer than necessary.
Let the product tempera-
ture decrease to room tem-
perature before storage.
