MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Internal cleaning
When performing a complete defrosting, wash the
internal surfaces of the freezer with lukewarm
water and bicarbonate; rinse and then accurately
dry.
External cleaning
Wash the outer body with lukewarm water and
soap. Periodically use a cleaning polish to keep the
outer body shining. Dust the condenser located at
the back of the freezer with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. An excessive accumulation of dust
might compromise the freezer’s 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.
Defective operation
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 case that the freezer makes excessive noise
or vibration, make sure that it is not in direct
contact with the wall or adjacent furniture.
In the case that defective operation continues after
these controls, call your local dealer and provide all
of the data listed on the rating plate: the model,
serial number, etc.
