Switch Off the Appliance When Not in Use 
 
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period of time set the 
thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position and disconnect the power supply. Then 
take out the foods and defrost and clean the appliance.  Leave the door slightly 
open. 
 
Trouble-Shooting Guide 
 
 
During the service of your appliance, you can come across some troubles that in 
most cases result from improper handling of the appliance that can easily be 
eliminated. 
 
 
 
The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting to the Power Supply 
•  Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the appliance is 
switched on (thermostat in the operating position). 
 
Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating System  
•  The door was frequently opened or it was left open too long. 
•  The door is not properly closed (the door may sag; the gasket may be 
polluted or damaged). 
•  Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods. 
•  The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and 
condenser (assures adequate air circulation and wipe off the condenser). 
 
 
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall 
As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through the opening to the 
drain pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting of the appliance is assured.  In 
case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (1/8”), ice should be 
manually defrosted. 
Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and leave the door open.  Never use 
electric devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp 
objects.  After completed defrosting, turn the knob to desired position and close 
the refrigerator door. 
The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the following reasons: 
-  the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is contaminated, 
or replace it if it is damaged). 
-  The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long. 
-  The food stored in the refrigerator was warm. 
-  The food or dish is touching the inner back wall. 
 
Water is Leaking from the Refrigerator  
In case the discharged water outlet is clogged, or the defrost water drips over the 
channel, or water leaks from the refrigerator just clean the clogged opening with a 
plastic straw. Manually defrost the increased ice layer.  See “Ice Formation on the 
Inner Back Wall”.
