Never use sharp metal tools to scrape 

off frost from the evaporator as you 

could damage it. Do not use a me-

chanical device or any artificial means 

to speed up the thawing  process 

other than those recommended by the 

manufacturer.

A certain amount of frost will always form 

around the ice-maker compartment.

Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so 

it reduces cooling efficiency as the tempera-

ture increases, it needs more energy.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer

reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

1.  Switch off the appliance and disconnect 

the mains plug from the mains socket.

2.  Empty the ice compartment.

3.  Leave the door of the appliance and ice-

maker compartment open. 

Defrosting usually takes several hours.

4.  When finished, pour defrost water gath-

ered out of the tray and wipe the surfaces 

dry.

5.  Insert the plug into the wall socket and 

turn the thermostat control to a medium 

setting.

6.  Put food taken out back to its place.
Periods of non-operation

periods, take the following precautions:

4.  Disconnect the appliance from electricity 

supply.

5.  Remove all food.

6.  Leave the door/doors open to prevent 

unpleasant smells.

When the ice maker starts again, do not

use ice produced during the first day to

ensure fresh taste.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask

to prevent the food inside from spoiling 

in case of a power failure.
