MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance operation,
always disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
Periodical cleaning
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm
water and sodium bicarbonate.
Clean cabinet outer surfaces with a silicone-wax
spray. The condenser and compressor should be
cleaned using a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This latter
operation will maintain the appliance’s excellent
standards of performance and save energy.
To avoid water spillage it is recommended that the
water drain collector (Fig. 12) is periodically cleaned.
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.
Interior light bulb
The light inside the refrigerator compartment is easy
to get at. All you have to do is to remove the lamp
from the fitting itself.
If the light does not come on when the door is opened,
check that it is screwed into place properly.
If it still does not light up, change the bulb.

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 and the thermostat is set to
the correct position.
Furthermore:
If the appliance seems too noisy check that the sides
are not touching furniture that can transmit or amplify
noise or vibration. Also, check that the piping of the
refrigerant system does not vibrate.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact your local dealer or
the neares service centre.
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
inside the appliance at the bottom on the left hand
side.
