Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of
the refrigerator compartment every time the motor com-
pressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water
drains out through a trough into a special container at the
back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where
it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain
hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel
to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the
food inside. Use the special cleaner provided, which you
will find already inserted into the drain hole.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer
shelves and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness
of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:
• pull out the plug from the wall socket or switch off the
appliance
• remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place
• remove the freezer drawers

Troubleshooting

Caution! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the
power supply.
Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do
the troubleshooting that is not in this manual.

Possible cause
The appliance is not supported prop-
erly.
The Temperature regulator may be set
incorrectly.
The door is not closed correctly.
• put insulating material around the drawers, e.g. blan-
kets or newspapers.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with hot
water (not boiling) inside the freezer.
• Loosen the drainage channel from its resting position,
push it in according to the illustration and place it in
the bottom freezer drawer where water can collect
• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to thaw. Use a
wood or a plastic scraper
• when all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the cabinet
dry, then put the drainage channel back in place.
• switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen foodstuff.
It is recommended to operate the appliance at the highest
position of the thermostatic control for some hours so that
it can reach the sufficient storing temperature as soon as
possible.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it. Do not use a
mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those recommended by the
manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
Important! There are some sounds during normal use
(compressor, refrigerant circulation).
Check if the appliance stands stable (all
the four feet should be on the floor).
Set a warmer temperature.
