Defrosting
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.
The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a
collection container at the back of the appliance.
Check that the tube is permanently placed with its
end in the collecting tray on the compressor to
prevent the water spilling on the electric installation
or on the floor (Item 6).
B) Freezer compartment
The NO FROST type defrost is compleetly
automatic. No intervention from your side is
requiered. The water is colected on the
compressor tray. Due the heat of the compressor
the water is evaporated
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects,
such as knives or forks to remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other
such electrical appliances for defrosting.
Sponge out the defrost water collected in the
bottom of the freezer compartment. After
defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly (Item 7 & 8).
Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on
the electricity supply.
Warnings!
The fans inside the freezer and fresh food
compartments circulates cold air. Never insert any
object through the guard. Do not allow children to
play with the fresh food andfreezer fan.
Never store products that contain inflammable
propellant gas (eg dispensers, spray cans etc.) or
explosive substances.
Don’t cover the shelves with any protective
materials, which may obstruct air circulation.
Do not allow children to play with the appliance or
tamper with the controls.
Do not obstruct the fan guards to ensure that you
obtain the best possible performance from your

Warning!
Your appliance is fitted with a circulating fan which
is essential for the performance of the refrigerator.
Please ensure the fans are not blocked (stopped)
or impaired by food or packaging. Blocking
(stopping) or impairing the fan can result in an
increase of the internal freezer temperature
(Thawing).
Replacing the interior light bulb
(Item 11)
In case that the light bulb is out of function it is
easily to replace. First make sure that the
refrigerator / freezer is disconnected from the
power supply by removing the plug. Take a flat
screwdriver and keep it carefully without force into
the left gap between lamp cover and internal
cabinet. Then press the handle of the screwdriver
carefully to the left side until you notice that the left
pin of the cover is disengaged . Repeat this
procedure on the right gap, however now press
the handle of the screwdriver carefully to the right
side. If both sides are loosened the cover can be
removed easily.
Ensure that bulb is screwed securely in the bulb
holder. Plug the appliance into the power supply. If
the light still fails, replace E14 screw-cap type 15
Watt (Max) bulb from your local electrical store
and then fit it. Carefully dispose of the burnt-out
light bulb immediately.
If you have changed the light bulb please fix the
cover again in it’s former position. Take care that
the cover snaps-in correctly.
