• Open the drain and discharge openings (and place water containers under the drain holes).
• Do not use metal or sharp objects or mechanical and other devices to speed up the defrosting When the ices soften, you can use a plastic ice scraper.
• The increase in temperature of frozen foods during defrosting of the freezer shortens their storage
• After defrosting wash and wipe dry the freezer with a sponge or dry tea
• Plug the appliance in the power supply and before you place in the foods let it run 2 to 3 hours at
• Before placing the foods back in the freezer check them You have to consume the partially defrosted foods within 24 hours or you have to cook them and freeze them again.

Power outage

In case of power failure the foods will stay frozen in the freezer for a number of hours. In case of power failure limit opening the door to a minimum and do not put in fresh (unfrozen) foods.

Long-term shutdown

If you do not intend to use the freezer for a longer period of time, proceed as follows:

Freezer door cannot be closed securely

• Food packaging is caught between the door and the seal of the
• Too many foods in the
• The freezer is tilted.

Noisy freezer

The circulation of the cooling medium makes some noise (gurgling sounds), even if the compressor is not running. This is entirely normal and does not present a problem. A clicking noise caused by the solenoid or electrical switch is normal and not a problem. In case of hearing other noises, check the following:

• Check if the freezer is in horizontal
• Check if it is not touching other devices or kitchen
• Check if the interior of the freezer does not Condensation and warm surface
• At higher humidity condensation of moisture can appear on the outer surfaces and door It is not a malfunction, wipe off the moisture with dry cloth. Higher surface temperatures, especially in the summer months are caused by radiation of heat from the evaporator. It is not a malfunction.
