- Remove all food from the freezer, place it into a plastic container, add pre-frozen
freezer-packs and cover the container to keep the inside temperature down.
- Leave the freezer door open.
Warning: Do not use any external device or other means (e.g. heaters or heating fans) to
accelerate de-frosting.
After de-frosting, the freezer should be thoroughly cleaned using warm water and, if
necessary, a mild detergent. Wipe thoroughly dry and air afterwards before using again.
Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning.
Any dust deposits around the ventilation slots on the outside of the unit should be regularly
removed using a suitable brush or a vacuum cleaner. The build-up of dust will cause an
increase in energy consumption.
The rear of the appliance should be thoroughly cleaned with a soft brush or a vacuum
cleaner at least once a year.
Remark: Do not use abrasive tools or materials containing alcohol or harsh cleaning
solutions. Do not use any electrical appliances, such as steam cleaners etc., for de-frosting or
cleaning.
Trouble-shooting
Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is switched on. These sounds are:
- caused by the electrical motor within the compressor
assembly; during compressor start-up the sound level will be
slightly higher for a limited period of time.
- caused by the cooling agent flowing through the circuit.
The following table lists the possible malfunctions, their probable causes and solutions. In
the event of operational problems, check first whether a solution can be found using this
table. If the problem persists, disconnect the appliance from the mains power and contact
our Customer Service Department.
