DEFROSTING THE CABINET
In the course of time, a frost layer will be naturally formed within the freezer. When this layer is 5-8mm thick,
the cabinet should be defrosted in the following way:
-
Remove the plug from the socket
-
Open the lid and leave it open
-
Loosen the frost layer using a plastic or wooden scraper
The defrosting process can be speeded up by using bowls of hot water.
Never use sharp or pointed instruments!
After final defrosting, the cabinet should be cleaned as described in section: Maintenance.
The cabinet should be thoroughly dried after cleaning.
MAINTENANCE
This freezer can be cleaned using warm water and mild detergent. Rinse with clean water to finish off.
Never use detergents that contain chlorine!
The lid may be cleaned in the same way as the freezer.
If a condenser and associated fan are fitted at the back bottom of the freezer, they can gather dust and dirt. If
cleaning is necessary, they should be vacuumed with a soft brush.
Please note that the parts behind the protective grille can be hot and rotating.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are having problems with your freezer, please check the following points before calling service personnel:
-
Is the freezer connected to the power supply?
-
Is the socket switched on?
-
Is the fuse in the switch cabinet intact?
-
Has the earth leak circuit breaker (if there is one) cut out?
-
Has there been power cut?
If the freezer is in a place that is very hot or with bad ventilation, make sure to provide adequate ventilation. If
the condenser mentioned in Section Maintenance is not clean, make sure to vacuum it.
If the above points have been checked and the freezer is still not working, please call service personnel. Inform
them the nature of the problem, the type of freezer, serial number and item number (provided on the nameplate
at the back of the cabinet).
Do not open the cabinet, as every opening hastens the thawing point. As a rule, the goods will not suffer damage
at the first 12 hours. If more time passes, the goods must be moved to another freezer.
