5.4 Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will al-
ways form around the top com-
partment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost
layer reaches a thickness of about
3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.
3. Open the door.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.

bleshooting that is not in this man-
ual.

Possible cause
The appliance is switched
off.
The mains plug is not con-
nected to the mains sock-
et correctly.
The appliance has no
power. There is no voltage
in the mains socket.
The lamp is in stand-by.
The lamp is defective.
The temperature is not set
correctly.
Set the temperature regulator to ob-
tain the maximum coldness and run
the appliance for two or three hours
using this setting.
Reload the previously removed food
into the compartment.
WARNING!
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evapora-
tor as you could damage it. Do
not use a mechanical device or
any artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other than
those recommended by the man-
ufacturer. A temperature rise of
the frozen food packs, during de-
frosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.
There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refriger-
ant circulation).
Solution
Switch on the appliance.
Connect the mains plug to
the mains socket correctly.
Connect a different electri-
cal appliance to the mains
socket.
Contact a qualified electri-
cian.
Close and open the door.
Refer to "Replacing the
lamp".
