DEFROSTING

• The appliance should be defrosted once the thickness of ice on the walls reaches 5-6 mm.
• Do not use any electrical, sharp, or mechanical objects to assist in defrosting the ice removal process, unless supplied or approved by the manufacturer or approved service center.
• To remove ice from the inner walls, use a plastic or wood scraper without sharp edges. Never use a metal scraper.

Proceed as follows:

1. Make sure to unplug the appliance.
2. Dry your hands thoroughly to prevent skin damage by contact with ice (it is advised to use gloves).
3. Remove all frozen food from the appliance, put it into a container, or cool box, put the frozen cool blocks on top of the frozen food to help keep it very cold, and place the container or cool box in a cool, dry room.
4. Pull out the water drain plug (if available) located at the bottom of the appliance. Otherwise, you must wipe up the meltwater at the bottom of the appliance compartment with a sponge or towel.
5. Scrape the ice carefully from the inner of an appliance and put it into your kitchen sink, for defrosting.
6. Thoroughly clean the inside of the appliance compartment, rinse it with warm water, and remove any spilled food or liquids.
7. Wipe the appliance with an absorbent cloth or sponge thoroughly dry and allow it to air for about 3 to 4 minutes.
8.  Replace the drain plug (if available).
9. Close the appliance door, replace the plug in the socket, and turn the appliance on.
10. Now re-fill the frozen food.

To prevent frozen food from defrosting, carry out the defrosting procedure within a maximum of two hours to reduce the significant rise in temperature of the frozen food that would shorten the storage life.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Door difficult to open?
   • After closing the door it may be difficult to open it again for a few minutes. This is normal and means that the door seal is working correctly. Just wait a few minutes and you will be able to open the door easily.
2. No operation (appliance not running/getting cold)
   • Is there a power failure?
   • Is the plug in good condition and properly plugged into the socket?
3. Appliance not working sufficiently/’Red light is on
   • Is the lid of the appliance closed properly?
   • Is there heavy ice formation on the inner walls?
   • Is the appliance exposed to direct sunlight or a heat source?
   • Have too many warm foods been put in the appliance?
   • The climatic class can be found on the rating label on the back of the appliance. It specifies the ambient temperatures at which the appliance will operate correctly.
   • Climatic class Ambient temperature
