socket  before  each  maintenance 

activity. Do not pull the cord, but hold 

the body of the plug instead.

l

  The cracking-like sound, which the 

appliance  may  emit  is  caused  by 

expansion and shrinking of parts as 

a result of temperature variations.

l

  For safety reasons do not repair the 

appliance on your own. Repairs car-

cooling  system,  by  punching  the 

refrigerant  pipes  in  the  evaporator 

or breaking the pipes. The refrigerant 

splashes are flammable. Rinse the
