Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form on the

freezer shelves and around the top compartment.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a

thickness of about 3-5 mm.

Remove the freezer drawers and place them on top

of each other by turning every other drawer one half

turn. Put insulating material around the drawers, e.g.

blankets or newspapers.

The frozen products can also be packed closely

together and be kept in a cold location, e.g. in the

fridge.

Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with

hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer.

Loosen the drainage channel from its resting

position and push in according to the illustration and

place it in the bottom freezer drawer where water can

collect.

Carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to thaw.

Use a wood or plastic scraper. Do not use sharp

objects as these may damage the interior.

When all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the

cabinet dry, then put the drainage channel back in

place.

Switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen

foodstuff.

When the appliance is not in use

Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.

Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving t he

doors ajar t o prevent unpleasant smells.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to

check it once in a while to prevent the food inside

from spoiling in case of a power failure.

Never use a hair drier or other heating

appliances to speed up defrosting. Excessive

heat may damage the plastic interior, and

humidity could enter the electric appliance

making it live.

Something Not Working

Before contacting your local Service Force Centre check the following point:

Problem Possible cause / Remedy

Audible alarm + flashing red warning

lamp. (It is too warm inside the freezer.)

Switch off the audible alarm by pressing the alarm off button.

The audible alarm could have been triggered by:

The cabinet having been recently switched on and the

temperature still being too high. See the chapter "Switching on

and setting the temperature".

The door may have been open for so long that the `door open'

alarm was triggered.

It is too warm inside the fr eezer. Set a lower temperature.

Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the

insulating strip is complete and clean.

If warm food products have been put inside the freezer, wait for

a couple of hours and then check the temperature again.

Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate

around them.
