5.4 Defrosting of the freezer

on the other hand, is a "no frost" type.
This means that there is no buildup of
frost when it is in operation, neither on the
internal walls nor on the foods.

6. WHAT TO DO IF...

WARNING!
Before troubleshooting, discon-
nect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
Only a qualified electrician or com-
petent person must do the trou-
bleshooting that is not in this man-
ual.
Problem
The appliance does
not operate. The
lamp does not oper-
ate.
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to pre-
vent the food inside from spoiling in case
of a power failure.
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compart-
ment every time the motor compressor
stops, during normal use. The defrost wa-
ter drains out through a drain hole into a
special container at the back of the appli-
ance, over the motor compressor, where
it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the de-
frost water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to pre-
vent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside.
The absence of frost is due to the contin-
uous circulation of cold air inside the
compartment, driven by an automatically
controlled fan.
Possible cause
The appliance is switched
off.
The mains plug is not con-
nected to the mains sock-
et correctly.

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.
