English GENERAL USER MANUAL REFRIGERATORS

fi210802

Some refrigerator models have no automatic

defrosting.

These appliances can be recognised by the fact that

they have no run-off channel (with a hole) for the

defrosted water on the internal rear panel of the

refrigerator (see Appliance components Section (6).

These refrigerators must be defrosted by hand from

time to time. The procedure is similar to that used for

defrosting a freezer compartment (see Chapter 17 b)

Freezer compartment)

b) Freezer compartment (where fitted)

The freezer compartment with static function does not

automatically defrost as the frozen produce is not

permitted to defrost.

Defrost the freezer compartment occasionally, at the

latest however when a ca. 5 cm thick coating of ice has

formed. Carry out the actions described in the chapter

“Cleaning and care“ and the following steps.

For appliances with no-frost function (frost free)

this process is not required.

Potential hazards

Never use electrical appliances such as hairdryers,

hot air fans, steam cleaners, defrosting sprays or

open flames (e.g. candles) for defrosting the freezer

compartment.

The plastic interior could melt and the emerging foam –

gas could be ignited by sparks or open flame.

Never use a steam cleaning appliance to melt

coatings of ice in the appliance (extremely high risk

of electric shock)

Hints

 Remove the frozen produce and wrap it in several

layers of newspaper or blankets.

 Keep the frozen produce in a cool place until the

freezer compartment is once more ready to use.

 Leave the door of the freezer compartment open.

 The layers of frost and ice in the freezer compartment

are formed through normal operation. After a certain

thickness is exceeded, these act as insulation and

impair the transfer of cold.

 Do not scrape off this frost or ice coating as this can

damage the evaporator surface.

 Carry out defrosting as quickly as possible to prevent

the removed produce from defrosting.

 Continuously remove the water with a sponge

 or pull out and empty the water tray underneath, in the

fridge compartment (not fitted to all models)

 Pull out the plug – where fitted - from the water drain

hole and replace the water tray in its guideway.

 You can speed up the defrosting by placing a vessel

of hot (not boiling) water with a pot stand in the freezer

compartment. In this case close the freezer

compartment door.

 Take care that the water tray – where fitted – does not

overflow.

 When the freezer compartment is fully defrosted,

empty the water collected in the tray into your kitchen

sink.

 Replace the plug in the water drain hole and replace

the water tray.

 Wipe the freezer compartment dry and replace the

produce.

 Re-connect the power supply to your appliance.

 Switch the appliance back on with the temperature

controller (see chapter “Switching on/off –

Temperature selection“) and – where fitted – press the

fast freeze- and or the fast cooling button (see chapter

“Super-cooling Super freezing function “

 Close the appliance door.

19 Troubleshooting guide

High quality manufacturing processes and the use of

the latest refrigerating and freezer technology will

basically ensure the trouble-free functioning of your

appliance.

If you suspect any fault, before contacting your nearest

service department directly or via your dealer, make

sure you have followed all instructions and advice given

in this user manual.

The compressor (also known as the refrigerating

motor) must not operate continuously.

It is controlled by a thermostat which you set on the

temperature dial and switches on automatically when

the set temperature in the appliance is exceeded and

switches off automatically when it is reached again.

Noise can be heard in every compressor - refrigerating

system when it is switched on. These noises are

produced when the motor in the compressor is running

and by the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerating

system circuit. These noises are normal and do not

indicate any fault in the functioning of your appliance.

In unheated rooms and in cold weather conditions,

condensation can build up on the outer walls of the

appliance.

This does not mean there is a fault and it will disappear

when the temperature increases.

Only call the service department, if after analysis of

the possible fault factors, you cannot find any cause for

the defect or you are not able to eliminate the fault.

Therefore first check under: „what to do when .......“
