7.

Reload the previously removed food
into the compartment.

Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost as you could dam-
age the appliance. Do not use a
mechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing
process other than those recom-
mended by the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the frozen
food packs, during defrosting,
may shorten their safe storage life.
The amount of frost on the walls
of the appliance will be increased
by the high level of the outer envi-
ronment humidity and if the frozen
food is not wrapped properly.

8.3 

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:

1.

Switch off the appliance.

2.

Disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.

3.

Remove all food.

4.

Defrost and clean the appliance and
all accessories.

5.

Leave the lid open to prevent un-
pleasant smells.

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.

9. 

WHAT TO DO IF…

CAUTION!

Before troubleshooting, discon-
nect the power supply.
Only a qualified electrician or com-
petent person must do the trou-
bleshooting that is not in this man-
ual.

There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refriger-
ant circulation).

Problem

Possible cause

Solution

The appliance is
noisy.

The appliance is not sup-
ported properly.

Check if the appliance
stands stable (all the four
feet should be on the floor).

The compressor op-
erates continually.

The temperature is not set
correctly.

Set a warmer temperature.

 

The lid has been opened
too frequently.

Do not leave the lid open
longer than necessary.

 

The lid is not closed prop-
erly.

Check if the lid closes well
and the gaskets are un-
damaged and clean.

 

Large quantities of food to
be frozen were put in at
the same time.

Wait some hours and then
check the temperature
again.

 

Food placed in the appli-
ance was too warm.

Allow food to cool to room
temperature before storing.
