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 flame (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 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 careflly form 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 temparature 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).

15Now refill the drawers with 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 for use

Switching the fridge off

If the fridge has to be switched off for a long period of time, the temperature dial should be set to "0" and the fridge cleaned as instructed above.

While the fridge is off, leave the doors open to prevent odours form building up.

10 Troubleshooting guide

High quality manufacturing processes and the use of the latest refrigerating and freezing technlogy will basically ensure the trouble-free functioning of your appliance.

If you suspect any fault, before contacing your nearest service department directly or via your dealer, make sure you have followed all instructions and advice given in 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 flowing 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 disapperar 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.
