Prior to undertaking any maintenance operation, be
sure to unplug the appliance from the wall socket as a
safety precaution.
Clean the interior periodically with lukewarm water
and some sodium bicarbonate; the cabinet exterior
with a silicone wax spray; the condenser and the
motor compressor with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
During periods when the appliance is not in use, take
the following precautions:
unplug the appliance from the power supply;
remove all foodstuffs from the appliance;
clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the doors ajar to facilitate the circulation of air
in the interior of the cabinet so as to prevent
unpleasant odours from accumulating in the
appliance.

SERVICING
What to do if the appliance is not functioning
properly:
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 an electricity supply (find out by plugging in
another appliance);
the thermostat 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 refrigerant
unit does not vibrate.
If there is water on the fridge bottom, make sure the
defrost water discharge hole is not clogged (Fig. 8).
To clean the discharge hole use the special cleaner
provided, which you will find already inserted into the
hole.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact the nearest service
center.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you
apply for it you specify the model and serial number
of your appliance which can be found on the warranty
certificate or inside the appliance on the rating plate.
