− Pull out the drain (Fig. 7).
− Place a shallow bowl (capacity  pint) under the drain to
collect the defrost water.
− Leave the door open.
Never use pointed objects to remove the ice. Any damage
caused in this way is not covered by the guarantee.
Avoid using hot water, electric heaters or other devices to
accelerate defrosting.
At completion of defrosting, clean the compartment with a
sponge dampened in a solution of lukewarm water and bi-
carbonate of soda and vinegar.
Clean the door gasket with a sponge dampened in water.
Avoid soiling the door gasket with oil or any greasy sub-
stance as it could become porous.
Then rinse and dry carefully.
Replace the drain and the baskets and reconnect the ap-
pliance to the mains.
Defrosting has to be carried out as quickly as possible.
When the red pilot lamp goes off, replace t he food in the
freezer.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
A p eriodic and proper maintenance will ensure a longer life
to your appliance.
When carrying out any cleaning operations, always dis-
connect the appliance from the mains supply.
If the plug is inaccessible, switch off the electricity at the
mains. To clean the interior, follow the instructions given in
the previous chapter.
HINTS FOR HOLIDAYS (Fig. 9)
If you plan to be away for a long time: disconnect t he ap-
pliance from the mains, empty and clean t he inside of the
compartments.
Leave the door open to prevent the appliance from smelling
musty. If you plan to be away f or a short time: let t he ap-
pliance operate normally.
SERVICE (Fig. 0--2)
The incorrect operation of the appliance is not always due to
a fault but it may also result from poor installation or usage.
To prevent unnecessary service calls for which you will be
charged, we suggest you consult this t rouble-shooting
guide.
) Red light on continuously, internal temperature too
high.
Check that:
− the door is properly closed
− the freezer is not too close to a heat s ource
− there is a large build-up of frost on the inner walls
− the condenser or the ventilation grill is clean
− the ambient temperature is excessively low, in this case,
turn the thermostat control knob to a higher setting. I f the red
light still remains on, the thermostat may be faulty.
Turn on the fast freeze switch to conserve the f ood while you
call a service technician.
2) The compressor functions continuously.
Check that:
− the fast freeze switch is turned off
− the ambient temperature is too high
− the door has been opened too frequently.
3) The freezer does not work.
Check that:
− there is not a power failure
− the plug is making good contact with the socket
− any automatic circuit breakers have tripped or any fuses
blown
− the supply cable is broken.
For Great Britain only
Check the plug fuse, if fitted. Try new fuse - check remov-
able plugs for loose connections and tighten if necessary.
Loose connections can cause overheating of the plug: if this
has occurred, replace the plug.
4) The freezer is very noisy.
Check t hat the freezer is touching other furniture, which can
cause vibration.
5) The door seal is warm - it is not a fault, but it prevents
condensation.
Note: When replacing a damaged supply cord, be sure the
new cord is correctly clamped.
If you have followed the above checks and your appliance
still does not work properly, get in touch with the Service Di-
vision.
Addresses and telephone numbers can b e found on the
Service Registration Card or B ooklet.
State clearly what is wrong and the type and serial number
of your appliance.
