Should the unit be out of operation for a prolonged period, turn off unit and
remove contents. After defrosting, the cooler should be cleaned carefully
and dried.
To avoid the build-up of any unpleasant smells in the cooler, it is
recommended to leave the lid slightly open.
15. Measures after prolonged periods of disuse
Should the cooling unit not function correctly when switched on after being
out of operation for a prolonged period, SHUT OFF THE POWER SUPPLY
AND DISCONNECT then turn the appliance upside down.
After a few minutes return the appliance to its upright position and switch on
again. Should the unit still not fuction correctly, repeat the process several
times.
16. Maintenance
Changing the gas filter: the cellulose gas filter is situated at the back in the
gas connection piece. When it becomes necessary to replace the gas filter,
remove the filter from the duct and replace it with a new one. Any other
maintenance and repair works, especially those relating to the cooling
aggregate and the gas-burner system, may only be undertaken by
authorized customer service points.
17. After-sales service
Should a problem arise with the unit, please check the following before
contacting customer service:
is the unit suitably placed and is it well ventilated?
is the unit placed on a flat surface?
does the socket supply current?
is the connecting cable damaged in any way?
is there a loose connection?
has the plug been properly plugged into the socket?
has the electrothermostat been correctly adjusted?
in the case of gas operation, has the safety pilot knob (regulator) been
pressed down long enough?
has the regulating knob been turned to the correct position?
is the gas cylinder or pressure regulating valve open?
does the liquid gas cylinder still contain gas? If no liquid movement is
evident on shaking the cylinder, then the gas cylinder is empty.
