of the appliance's walls provides 12 to 15 hours storage
time for the frozen foods after the beginning of such
failures.

Danger warnings
Never
use electrical appliances to defrost your appliance,
such as a hair dryer, fan heater, dehumidifiers, de-icing
sprays or anything with a naked flame (e.g.candles).
The plastic inside of your appliance could melt and the
escaping gas or foam could be ignited by sparks or by
the naked flame.
On no account should a steam cleaning device be
used to defrost the layers of ice in the appliance
(great risk of an electric shock).
Proceed as follows to defrost your appliance:
Provide a suitable non-metallic container (a plastic
container or wash-basket).
Make absolutely sure that your remove the plug
from the power socket.
Dry your hands thoroughly to prevent skin damage
from contact with ice
(it is advisable to use gloves).
Remove all frozen food from the freezer and roll it
firmly in newspaper
place it in the container already
prepared and place the container in a cool, dry room.
Cover the container all around with a thick blanket.
Remove the drawers by pulling them as far out as
possible and then raising them slightly.
As described previously, scrape the thickest ice careflly
form inside the freezer and put it in the kitchen sink.
If your appliance is equipped with a drip duct at the
bottom of the appliance, pull it out and place a bowl
to catch the dripping water underneath it.
If necessary, speed up defrosting by placing a large
bowl of warm (not too hot) water on the bottom of the
appliance and close the door.
If your appliance is not equipped with a drip duct,
place an absorbent cloth underneath the front of the
appliance and wipe up the defrosting water with a
sponge.
Thoroughly clean the inside. Wipe it out with warm
water and a little vinegar and then rinse it out with
clear water.
Dry it ghoroughly with a soft cloth and air it for 3-4
minutes.
Close the door and plug the appliance back in.
Reset the temparature dial to the maximum setting.
(if your appliance is equipped with green and red
pilot lights, these will come on)
and if the SUPER
FREEZE SWITCH is provided, switch it on
(the yellow
light will also come on).
Now refill the drawers with frozen food - the oldest
items at the top.
To prevent the frozen food from defrosting, carry out the
steps described above within two hours at the most.
When the red pilot light goes off, reset the temperature
dial to a medium setting.
If provided, switch off the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH
after about 12, but no later than 24 hours
(the yellow
light will go off).

Switching the fridge off
If the fridge has to be switched off for a long period of
time, the temperature dial should be set to "0" and the
fridge cleaned as instructed above.
While the fridge is off, leave the doors open to prevent
odours form building up.
10 Troubleshooting guide
High quality manufacturing processes and the use of the
latest refrigerating and freezing technlogy will basically
ensure the trouble-free functioning of your appliance.
If you suspect any fault, before contacing your nearest
service department directly or via your dealer, make sure
you have followed all instructions and advice given in in
this user manual.
Please note:
The compressor (also known as the refrigerating motor
must) not operate continuously).
It is controlled by a thermostat which you set on the
temperature dial and switches on automatically when the
set temperature in the appliance is exceeded and switches
off automatically when it is reached again.
Noise can be heard in every compressor - refrigerating
system when it is switched on. These noises are produced
when the motor in the compressor is running and by the
refrigerant flowing through the refrigerating system circuit.
These noises are normal and do not indicate any fault in
the functioning of your appliance.
In unheated rooms
and in cold weather conditions,
condensation can build up on the outer walls of the
appliance.
This does not mean there is a fault and it will disapperar
when the temperature increases.
Only call the service department,
if after analysis of the
possible fault factors, you cannot find any cause for the
defect or you are not able to eliminate the fault.
Therefore first check under:
"
what to do when......"
What to do when............:
a) The appliance does not function (it's not running).
Is the plug in good order and is it plugged in the socket
properly?
Is the electricity coming through?
(check this by possibly plugging in a small appliance
such as a hand mixer or hair dryer etc.)
Is the appliance switched on? (Temperature dial
should not be set to "0").
