Danger

warnings

Never

use

electrical

appliances

to

defrost

your

appliance,

such

as

a

hair

dryer,

fan

heater,

dehumidifiers,

de-icing

sprays

or

anything

with

a

naked

fl

ame

(e.g.

candles).

The

plastic

inside

of

your

appliance

could

melt

and

the

escaping

gas

or

foam

could

be

ignited

by

sparks

or

by

the

naked

flame.

On

no

account

should

a

steam

cleaning

device

be

used

to

defrost

the

layers

of

ice

in

the

appliance

(great

risk

of

an

electric

shock).

Proceed

as

follows

to

defrost

your

appliance:

1.

Provide

a

suitable

non-metallic

container

(a

plastic

container

or

wash

-basket).

2.

Make

absolutely

sure

that

you

remove

the

plug

from

the

power

socket.

3.

Dry

your

hands

thoroughly

to

prevent

skin

damage

from

contact

with

ice

(it

is

advisable

to

use

gloves).

4.

Remove

all

frozen

food

from

the

freezer

and

roll

it

firmly

in

newspaper

place

it

in

the

container

already

prepared

and

place

the

container

in

a

cool,

dry

room.

5.

Cover

the

container

all

around

with

a

thick

blanket.

6.

Remove

the

drawers

by

pulling

them

as

far

out

as

possible

and

then

raising

them

slightly.

7.

As

described

previously,

scrape

the

thickest

ice

carefully

from

inside

the

freezer

and

put

it

in

the

kitchen

sink.

8.

If

your

appliance

is

equipped

with

a

drip

duct

at

the

bottom

of

the

appliance,

pull

it

out

and

place

a

bowl

to

catch

the

dripping

water

underneath

it.

9.

If

necessary,

speed

up

defrosting

by

placing

a

large

bowl

of

warm

(not

too

hot)

water

on

the

bottom

of

the

appliance

and

close

the

door.

10.

If

your

appliance

is

not

equipped

with

a

drip

duct,

place

an

absorbent

cloth

underneath

the

front

of

the

appliance

and

wipe

up

the

defrosting

water

with

a

sponge.

11.

Thoroughly

clean

the

inside.

Wipe

it

out

with

warm

water

and

a

little

vinegar

and

then

rinse

it

out

with

clear

water.

12.

Dry

it

thoroughly

with

a

soft

cloth

and

air

it

for

3-4

minutes.

13.

Close

the

door

and

plug

the

appliance

back

in.

14.

Reset

the

temperature

dial

to

the

maximum

setting.

(if

your

appliance

is

equipped

with

green

and

red

pilot

lights,

these

will

come

on)

and

if

the

SUPER

FREEZE

SWITCH

is

provided,

switch

it

on

(the

yellow

light

will

also

come

on).

15.

Now

refill

the

drawers

with

the

frozen

food

-

the

oldest

items

at

the

top.

To

prevent

the

frozen

food

from

defrosting,

carry

out

the

steps

described

above

within

two

hours

at

the

most.

16.

When

the

red

pilot

light

goes

off,

reset

the

temperature

dial

to

a

medium

setting.

If

provided,

switch

off

the

SUPER

FREEZE

SWITCH

after

about

12,

but

no

later

than

24

hours

(the

yellow

light

will

go

off).

Instruction

the

fridge

has

to

be

Troubleshooting

guide

High

quality

manufacturing

processes

and

the

use

of

the

latest

refrigerating

and

freezing

technology

will

basically

ensure

the

trouble

-free

functioning

of

your

appliance.

If

you

suspect

any

fault,

before

contacting

your

nearest

service

department

directly

or

via

your

dealer,

make

sure

you

have

followed

all

instructions

and

advice

given

in

this

user

manual.

Please

note:

The

compressor

(also

known

as

the

refrigerating

motor)

must

not

operate

continuously.

It

is

controlled

by

a

thermostat

which

you

set

on

the

temperature

dial

and

switches

on

automatically

when

the

set

temperature

in

the

appliance

is

exceeded

and

switches

off

automatically

when

it

is

reached

again.

Noise

can

be

heard

in

every

compressor

-

refrigerating

system

when

it

is

switched

on.

These

noises

are

produced

when

the

motor

in

the

compressor

is

running

and

by

the

refrigerant

fl

owing

through

the

refrigerating

system

circuit.

These

noises

are

normal

and

do

not

indicate

any

fault

in

the

functioning

of

your

appliance.

In

unheated

rooms

and

in

cold

weather

conditions,

condensation

can

build

up

on

the

outer

walls

of

the

appliance.

This

does

not

mean

there

is

a

fault

and

it

will

disappear

when

the

temperature

increases.

Only

call

the

service

department,

if

after

analysis

of

the

possible

fault

factors,

you

cannot

find

any

cause

for

the

defect

or

you

are

not

able

to

eliminate

the

fault.

Therefore

first

check

under:„what

to

do

when

What

to

do

when

a)

The

appliance

does

not

function

(it's

not

running).

Please

check:

■

Is

the

plug

in

good

order

and

is

it

plugged

in

the

socket

properly?

■

Is

the

electricity

coming

through?

(check

this

by

possibly

plugging

in

a

small

appliance

such

as

a

hand

mixer

or

hair

dryer

etc.)

■

Is

the

appliance

switched

on?

(Temperature

dial

should

not

be

set

to

"0").

Warning!

In

the

event

of

a

fault

or

of

a

power

failure,

the

insulation

of

the

appliance's

walls

provides

12

to

15

hours

storage

time

for

the

frozen

foods

after

the

beginning

of

such

failures.
