CLEANING AND CARE
!
REGULARLY CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
! Remember that before defrosting the freezer compartment and cleaning the back part of
the appliance body you must disconnect the appliance from the electrical energy supply
socket by pulling the plug out of the electricity outlet.
•
Protect the appliance inner surfaces and plastic parts from fats, acids and sauces. In case of
accidental spills – immediately clean with warm soapy water or dishwashing detergent. Wipe dry.
•
Clean the appliance inner surfaces with warm soapy water. Dishwashing detergent may also be
used.
•
Wipe dry inner and outer surfaces.
•
Regularly clean the hermetic gaskets of the doors. Wipe dry.
•
At least once a year clean dust away from the back part of the appliance body and the compressor.
A soft brush, electrostatic cloth or vacuum cleaner may be used for cleaning.
•
DO NOT use detergents containing abrasive particles, acid, alcohol or benzene for cleaning the
appliance inner and outer surfaces.
•
DO NOT use for cleaning cloths or sponges that have coarse surfaces intended for scrubbing.
Practical tips and observations.
•
Frozen foodstuffs should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment. Food that thaws slowly retains
better flavour properties and spread cold will help to maintain the set temperature in the
refrigeration compartment. Do not consume ice made in the freezer chamber straight away.
•
Products will freeze more quickly if they are divided up and packed in small portions.
•
IF THE APPLIANCE IS TO BE LEFT SWITCHED OFF FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, LEAVE ITS DOORS
OPEN.
Remarks on the appliance operating noise
As the appliance operates and goes through the freezing cycle, various noises will be emitted. This is
normal and is not a sign of any malfunction.
•
As the refrigerant circulates around the refrigeration system, it causes sounds like murmuring,
bubbling, or rustling.
•
Louder sounds like popping or clicking may be heard for a short time as the refrigerator’s
compressor switches on.
OPERATION PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS (TROUBLESHOOTING)
What if …
•
The appliance is plugged in to the mains but it does not work and the electricity supply
voltage indicator is not illuminated.
Check that your house electricity supply installations are in order.
Check that the plug is correctly inserted into the electricity supply socket.
•
The noise has become louder.
Check that the appliance is standing stable, on a level place. To make it
level, regulate the front feet. Check if the appliance is not touching any furniture, and that no part of the
refrigeration system at the back part of the appliance body is touching the wall. Pull the appliance away
from any furniture or walls. Check that the cause of increased noise isn’t due to bottles, cans or dishes in
the appliance that might be touching each other.
•
When the appliance door is opened, the rubber sealing gasket pulls out.
The gasket is smeared
with sticky foodstuffs (fat, syrup). Clean the sealing gasket and the groove for it with warm water
containing soap or dishwashing detergent and wipe dry. Put the rubber sealing gasket back into the
place.
