6. Turn the Temperature Regulator to the
<< -18 °C >> position and leave to run
for at least 4 hours in quick freeze mode.
7. After 4 hours reload the previously re-
moved food into the compartments.
Warning!
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 thaw-
ing 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.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long pe-
riods, take the following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from electricity
supply
2. remove all food
3. defrost and clean the appliance and all
accessories
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
Important!
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.
WHAT TO DO IF…
Warning!
Before troubleshooting,
disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
Only a qualified electrician or compe-
tent person must do the troubleshoot-
ing that is not in this manual.
Important!
There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refrigerant
circulation).
Important!
The appliance operates
discontinuously, so the stopping of
compressor does not mean being no
current. That is why you must not touch the
electrical parts of the appliance before
breaking the circuit.
