It is important to periodically clean the defrost water
drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment
channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside.
Defrosting the freezer
Caution! Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evaporator as
you could damage it.
A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
Do not use a mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up the thawing
process other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer
shelves and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Pull out the plug from the wall socket or switch off
the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool place
Troubleshooting
Warning! Refer to Safety chapters.
What to do if...
Problem
The appliance does not operate.
3. Open the door.
In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a
pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In
addition, remove pieces of ice that break away
before defrosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the
maximum coldness and run the appliance for two
or three hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food into the
compartment.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask
somebody to check it once in a while to
prevent the food inside from spoiling in
case of a power failure.
