only be carried out by qualified personnel or
After-sales Service.
• Do not use extension leads or adapters.
• Electrical disconnection must be possible either by
unplugging the appliance or by means of a double-
pole switch located upline from the socket.
• Ensure that the voltage indicated on the appliance
data plate corresponds to the domestic supply
voltage.
• Do not ingest the contents (non-toxic) of the ice
packs (if provided).
• Restrict the number of times you open the door.
• This appliance features "skin condenser"
technology: the condensing unit is integrated into
the walls of the freezer. For this reason the side
and front walls of the product may become hot
while the product is running. This is entirely
normal and also reduces the risk of condensation
forming in particularly critical environmental
conditions (see paragraph "Troubleshooting
guide").
APPLIANCE DEFROSTING
The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of
ice on the walls reaches 5-6 mm.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Remove food from the appliance and put it in a very
cool place or a thermally insulated bag.
• Leave the appliance door open.
• Remove the internal defrost water drain plug
(depending on model)
(Fig. 8)
.
• Remove the external defrost water drain plug
(depending on model) and reposition it as shown in
figure 8
.
• Use the separator (depending on model) inside the
product as a recipient for any remaining water, (D) as
shown in
fig. 8
. If there is no separator, use a shallow
container.
• Defrosting can be sped up by using a spatula to detach
the frost from the appliance walls.
• Remove the frost from the bottom of the appliance.
•
In order to avoid permanent damage to the
appliance interior, do not use pointed or sharp
metal instruments to remove the ice.
• Do not use abrasive products or heat up the
interior artificially.
• Dry the inside of the appliance thoroughly.
• Refit the plug after defrosting.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Remove the frost from the upper edges (see
Troubleshooting Guide).
• Clean the inside after defrosting, using a sponge
dampened with warm water and/or mild detergent.
• Clean the side vent (if provided).
Unplug the appliance before carrying out
maintenance operations. Do not use abrasive
products, scourers or stain-removers (e.g. acetone,
trichloroethylene) to clean the appliance.
To obtain the best results from your appliance, carry
out cleaning and maintenance at least once a year.
CHANGING THE LID LIGHT BULB (if provided)
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply.
• Remove the diffuser by following the sequence of steps
shown in the figure.
• Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with an identical
bulb of the same wattage and voltage.
• Refit the diffuser and plug in the appliance.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. The red LED flashes.
• Is there a power failure?
• Is a defrosting operation in progress?
• Has fresh food recently been introduced?
• Is the appliance lid properly closed?
• Is the appliance placed near a heat source?
• Are the ventilation grille and condenser clean?
2. All LEDs flash at the same time.
• Contact the After-Sales Service.
3. The appliance is too noisy.
• Is the appliance perfectly horizontal?
• Is the appliance in contact with other furniture or
objects that may cause vibrations?
• Has the packaging been removed from under the
appliance?
Note:
Gurgling noises from the refrigerating circuit after
the compressor cuts out are perfectly normal.
4. All LEDs are off and the product is not working.
• Is there a power failure?
• Is the plug properly inserted in the socket?
• Is the electric cable intact?
5. All LEDs are off and the product is working.
• Contact the After-Sales Service.
6. The compressor runs continuously.
• Have hot foods been put in the appliance?
• Has the appliance lid been left open for a long time?
• Is the appliance placed in a very warm room or near
heat sources?
• Has the fast freeze function ("Shopping") been
activated? (the green LEDS flash alternatively)
7. Too much ice on the upper edge.
• Are the defrost water drainage plugs correctly
positioned?
• Is the appliance lid properly closed?
• Is the appliance lid seal damaged or deformed? (See
chapter "Installation")
• Have the 4 protection pieces been removed? (See
chapter "Installation")
8. Formation of condensate on the external walls of
the appliance.
• It is normal for condensation to form under certain
atmospheric conditions (humidity above 85%) or if
the appliance is located in a damp or poorly
ventilated room. The performance of the appliance is
in no way affected.
9. The layer of ice on the internal walls of the
appliance is not uniform.
• This phenomenon is quite normal.
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
1. Packing
The packing material is 100% recyclable and bears the
recycling symbol. For disposal, comply with the local
