Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls
with hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer.
• Loosen the drainage channel from its resting
position, push it in according to the illustra-
tion 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 chan-
nel back in place.
Troubleshooting
Caution! Before troubleshooting,
disconnect the power supply.
Only a qualified electrician or competent
person must do the troubleshooting that is not
in this manual.
Problem

The compressor operates
continually.

Possible cause
The appliance is not supported
properly.
The Temperature regulator may be
set incorrectly.
The door is not closed correctly.
The door has been opened too fre-
quently.
The product temperature is too
high.
The room temperature is too high.
During the automatic defrosting
process, frost defrosts on the rear
plate.
• switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen
foodstuff.
It is recommended to operate the appli-
ance at the highest position of the ther-
mostatic control for some hours so that it
can reach the sufficient storing tempera-
ture as soon as possible.
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.
Important! There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refrigerant
circulation).
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 temperature de-
crease to room temperature before
storage.
Decrease the room temperature.
This is correct.
