the << -18 °C >> position and leave
to run for at least 4 hours in quick
freeze mode.

WARNING!
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evapo-
rator 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.
7.3 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for
long periods, take the following precau-
tions:
1. disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
2. remove all food
3. defrost and clean the appliance and
all accessories

somebody to check it once in a
while to prevent the food inside

8. WHAT TO DO IF…
WARNING!
Before troubleshooting, discon-
nect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
Only a qualified electrician or
competent person must do the
troubleshooting that is not in this
manual.
There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refriger-
ant circulation).
The appliance operates discon-
tinuously, so the stopping of
compressor does not mean be-
ing no current. That is why you
must not touch the electrical
parts of the appliance before
breaking the circuit.
