SOMETHING NOT WORKING
Important: If the appliance is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before calling out an engineer.
Freezer
When the frost has reached a thickness of up to 4mm it can be removed using a plastic scraper. During this operation it is not necessary to disconnect the appliance from the mains and remove the food. Never use metal tools for this operation. For complete defrosting (once or twice a year) proceed as follows: turn the thermostat dial to the «OFF» position (O) or disconnect the appliance from the mains. Remove any food from inside the freezer and fridge, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool,dry place. Leave the door open. Clean and dry thoroughly. Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset the thermostat to a functioning position. After letting the appliance run for a least half an hour, replace the previously removed food into the compartment.
