•
Do not forget to clean also the defrost water
receptacle
above the refrigerator
compressor (do not remove the receptacle).
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power
supply and reload the packages.
Switch Off the Appliance When Not In

period, set the thermostat knob to the
STOP (0)

foods and defrost and clean the appliance. Leave
the door slightly open.
Trouble-Shooting Guide
During the service, you can come across some
troubles that in most cases result from
improper handling of the appliance and can
easy be eliminated.
The Appliance Fails to Operate After
Connecting to the Mains Supply
•
Check the supply in the outlet socket and
make sure the appliance is switched on
(thermostat knob in operating position).
Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating
System
•
the door was frequently opened or it was left
opened for too long;
•
the door is not properly closed (the door may
sag, the gasket may be polluted or
damaged);
•
perhaps you have overloaded the appliance
with fresh foods;
•
The reason may be inadequate ventilation of
the compressor and condenser (assure
adequate air circulation and wipe off the
condenser);
•
Continuous operation button activated (see
section Freezing of Food).
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the
channel and through the outlet to the drain pan
on the compressor, automatic defrosting of the
appliance is assured. In case the ice formation
on the inner back wall is increased (3-5 mm),
ice should be manually defrosted. Set the
thermostat knob to
STOP (0)
position and
leave the door open. Never use electric
devices for defrosting and do not scrape the
ice or frost layer with sharp objects. After
completed defrosting, turn the knob to desired
position and close the refrigerator door. The
cause of increased ice formation may be one
of the following:
−
the door does not seal well (clean the
gasket if it is contaminated, or replace it
if it is damaged);
−
the door was frequently opened or it
was left opened for too long;
−
the food stored in the refrigerator was
warm;
−
the food or dish is touching the inner
back wall.
Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator
In case the discharge water outlet is clogged,
or the defrost water drips over the channel,
water leaks from the refrigerator.
•
Clean the clogged opening, for example with
a plastic straw.
•
Manually defrost the increased ice layer.
