Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not used, you
should take the following precautions:

Replacing the interior light bulb
The light inside the refrigerator compartment is easy
to get at through the opening in the light holder.

SOMETHING NOT WORKING...
What to do if the appliance is not functioning properly.
If something is not working 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 not on the «
O
» position.
Furthermore:
If there are water drops on the bottom of the refrigera-
tor check that the defrost water drain opening is not
obstructed.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact your local dealer or
the nearest service center.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you ap-
ply for it you specify the model & serial number of your
appliance which can be found on the rating plate, in-
side the cabinet.
