MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Periodical cleaning
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm wa-
ter and sodium bicarbonate.
Clean the cabinet with a silicone-wax spray. The con-
denser and compressor should be cleaned using a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. This latter operation will
maintain the appliance’s excellent standards of per-
formance and save energy.
Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not used, you
should take the following precautions:
remove the plug from the wall socket;
remove all food from the appliance;
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door slightly open, thus letting air circulate
and preventing the formation of mould and unpleasant
smells.
Replacing the interior light bulb
The light inside the refrigerator compartment is easy
to get at through the opening in the light holder.
If the light does not go on when the door is open,
check that it is screwed into place properly.
If it still does not light up, change the bulb.
The rating is shown on the light bulb cover.

SOMETHING NOT WORKING
If the appliance is not functioning properly check that:
the plug is firmly inserted into the wall socket and that
the mains power switch is on;
electricity is delivered, and controls are set to the cor-
rect position.
Furthermore:
if the appliance seems too noisy, check that the sides
of the cabinet are not touching furniture that can
transmit noise or vibrations and that the refrigerating
circuit tubes are not vibrating;
if there are signs of presence of water on the bottom
of the refrigerator compartment, check that the de-
frost water drain opening is not obstructed.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact your local dealer or
the nearest service center.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you
apply for it you specify the model & serial number
of your appliance, which can be found on the rat-
ing plate located inside the appliance at the bot-
tom on the left hand side.
