MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
Internal clearing
Never use metal objects for clearing your
appliance as it may get damaged.
When performing a complete defrosting, wash
the internal surfaces of the freezer with
lukewarm water and bicarbonate; rinse and
then accurately dry.
External clearing
Wash the outer body with lukewarm water and
soap. Periodically use a clearing polish to keep
the outer body shining. Dust the condenser
located behind the freezer with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. An excessive accumulation of
dust might compromise the freezerÕs efficiency.
Extended periods of non-operation
Whenever the freezer is not to be used for an
extended period of time, disconnect it from the
wall socket and empty and clean the freezer.
Remember to leave the door open for the entire
period of time in which the freezer is not to be
used.
Interior light

compartment can be reached as follows:
■

If the door is open and the light does not come
on, check that the bulb is properly screwed in; if
it still does not work, replace the bulb with one
of the same power.

DEFECTIVE OPERATION
GB
Before calling your local dealer for servicing
assistance, check the following points to see if
you may not resolve the problem yourself:
Make sure that the freezer is plugged into the
wall socket correctly, and that electrical current
arrives to the freezer without interruption.
Control the thermostat setting.
In the event that the freezer makes excessive
noise or vibration, make sure that it is not in
direct contact with the wall or adjacent furniture.
If defective operation continues after these
controls, call your local Service Network and
provide all the data listed on the rating plate:
model, serial number, etc.
