4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly and refit the plug.
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 com-
partment.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
as you could damage the appliance. 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 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 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 unpleasant 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…
Caution! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the
power supply.
Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do
the troubleshooting that is not in this manual.
Important! There are some sounds during normal use
(compressor, refrigerant circulation).

temperature again.
Food placed in the appliance was too
warm.
Allow food to cool to room temperature
before storing.
The temperature of the room that con-
tains the appliance is too high for ef-
ficient operation.
Try to reduce the temperature in the
room where the appliance stands.
The High temperature alarm light
is on.
It is too warm inside the freezer.
