If you cannot identify the cause and overheating recurs, stop using the appliance and contact your
dealer.
Following a cut-out due to overheating and subsequent cooling, the appliance may begin
operating normally again; this does not mean that the cause has been resolved. If the appliance
repeatedly overheats, cuts out and starts up again, it can pose a fire risk. Do not allow this
situation to occur.
Cleaning and maintenance
Keep the frost monitor clean. The build-up of dust and dirt in the appliance is one of the
commonest causes of overheating. You should therefore remove such dirt regularly. Before
cleaning or performing maintenance, switch the frost monitor off, remove the plug from the socket
and allow to cool.
• Clean the outside of the appliance regularly with a dry or very slightly moistened cloth. Do not
use any abrasive soap, spray, detergents or scouring agents, wax, glazing agents or other
chemical solutions.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove dirt and dust from the grilles and check that the air
inlets and outlets are clean. When cleaning these, take care not to touch or damage any internal
parts.
• The frost monitor does not contain any other components that require maintenance.
• When the heating season ends, carefully pack the frost monitor away, where possible in its
original packaging. Store it upright in a cool, dry and dusty-free place.
• When the appliance reaches the end of its useful life, do not dispose of it in the domestic waste.
Take it instead to a local collection point for electrical equipment. Care will then be taken to
recycle any re-usable materials.
