➁➁
to the «■»
setting.
3. Leave the door open.
4. Introduce the plastic scraper in the appropriate
seating at the base of the cabinet as shown in the
figure and place a basin underneath to collect the
defrost water (see fig.).
5. When defrosting is completed dry the interior
thoroughly.
Keep the scraper for future use.
6. Turn the thermostat control to a medium setting
and, after letting the appliance run for at least two
hours in the «fast freeze» mode, replace the
previously removed food into the compartments.
SOMETHING NOT WORKING
If the appliance is not functioning properly, check that:
Malfunction
Remedy
Appliance does not function, no pilot light is illuminated.
The freezer temperature is not sufficient, red light lights up.
Large accumulation of frost in the appliance, perhaps also at
the door seal.
Unusual noises.
The compressor does not start immediately after pressing the
fast freeze button or after changing the temperature setting.
The appliance works, but the pilot light is flashing
- Appliance is not switched on; switch appliance on.
- Mains plug is not inserted or is loose; insert mains plug.
- Fuse has blown or is defective; check fuse, replace if
necessary.
- Mains socket is defective; Mains malfunctions are to be
corrected by an electrician.
- Temperature is not properly adjusted; please refer to the
section “Temperature regulation”.
- Door was open for a long time; only leave the door open as
long as necessary.
- Within the last 24 hours a large quantity of warm foods
were loaded; press the fast freeze button.
- Appliance is next to a source of warmth; please refer to the
section “Location”.
- Door is not properly sealed (perhaps after re-hanging
door); carefully warm the door seal with a hand-held hair
dryer at those points which are not airtight (no warmer
than approx. 50°C). At the same time, shape the warmed
door seal by hand, so that it is again properly seated.
- A part at the back of the appliance, e.g. a tube, is in
contact with another appliance part or the wall; bend this
part away carefully if necessary.
- This is normal, no error has occurred; the compressor
starts after a period of time.
Please contact the nearest service centre.
Warning
Never use metal objects for defrosting your
appliance as it may get damaged.
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 increase of the frozen food
shortens its safe storage period.
