Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on
the freezer shelves and around the top com-
partment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches
a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions be-
low:
• switch off the appliance and pull out the plug
from the wall socket
• remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place
• remove the freezer drawers
• 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.
• Leave the door open and insert the plastic
scraper in the appropriate seating at the bot-
tom centre, placing a basin underneath to
collect the defrost water
• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to
thaw (use a wood or a plastic scraper)
• when all the ice has melted, dry the interior
thoroughly and keep the scraper for future
use.

Possible cause
The appliance is switched off.
The mains plug is not connected to
the mains socket correctly.
The appliance has no power. There
is no voltage in the mains socket.
The appliance is not working prop-
erly.
The temperature in the freezer is
too high.
• switch on the appliance and replace the fro-
zen foodstuff.
Activate the Fast Freeze function for some
hours so that it can reach the sufficient storing
temperature as soon as possible.
Caution! 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.
Only a qualified electrician or competent
person must do the troubleshooting that is not
in this manual.

ance to the mains socket.
