 Do not scratch the ice deposit layer because you could damage the evaporation surface.
 Perform the defrosting process as fast as possible to prevent the removed food from defrosting.
 You can speed up the defrosting process by placing a bowl with hot water (not boiling) into the freezer. In
this case close the freezer door.
 The appliance may be connected to the power grid and turned on only after the inside area is completely
dry.
Cleaning gasket seals
Keep the door gasket seals clean.
Sticky foods and beverages may cause the gasket seal to stick to the inner edge and result in damage when
the door is opened. Wash the gasket seal with a soft wiping cloth dipped in warm water with a small amount
of kitchen detergent. Rinse and thoroughly wipe dry.
ATTENTION!
Only turn on the appliance once the gasket seal is thoroughly dry.
Taking out of operation for an extended period
If you are not going to use the appliance for an extended period of time, do the following:
Disconnect the freezer from the power source by pulling it out of the power socket. Clean out the inside and
dry it out as described in the part Cleaning the freezer. Leave the door open to prevent an unpleasant odour
from forming inside.
Please be aware:
Compressor
The compressor is controlled by the thermostat, which is set by the temperature dial, and turns itself on
automatically when temperatures inside the appliance is exceeded and then turns itself off as soon as it again
reaches this temperature.
When any compressor – cooling system is turned on – noise can be heard. These sounds are made when the
motor in the compressor is working and they are also made by the coolant circulating in the circuit of the
cooling system. These noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction in the operation of the appliance.
In unheated rooms or in cold weather conditions condensate may form on the exterior walls of the appliance.
This does not indicate a malfunction and this condensate will disappear as soon as the temperature rises.
Contact the service department only when, after analysing all possible factors of the malfunction you
cannot fi nd any cause for the malfunction or you are unable to remedy the malfunction yourself. So, fi rst focus
on: " What should I do when...."
