MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only
be carried out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance
as it may get damaged.
Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
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.
SOMETHING NOT WORKING
If the appliance is not functioning properly check that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;
there is no power failure; the control knob is in the
right position.
Furthermore:
if the appliance seems too noisy check that the sides
are not touching furniture that can transmit or amplify
a noise or a vibration. Also, check that the piping of
the refrigerant system does not vibrate.
If the fault persists after carrying out the above
checks, call your nearest Service Centre.
For quick service it is important when telephoning
to give the number of the model and the serial
number, both of which can be found on the serial
number plate inside at the bottom left of the appli-
ance.
