to unplug the appliance from the wall socket as a safety
precaution.
Periodical cleaning
Clean the interior periodically with lukewarm
water and some sodium bicarbonate;
clean the cabinet exterior with a silicone wax spray;
clean the condenser and the motor compressor with
a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
This will improve the appliance operation,
consequently reducing power consumption.

take the following precautions:
unplug the appliance from the power supply;
remove all foodstuffs from the appliance;
clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the doors ajar to facilitate the circulation of
air in the interior of the cabinet so as to prevent
unpleasant odours from accumulating in the
appliance.

SERVICING
If the appliance is not functioning properly check
that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;
there is no power failure;
the control knob is in the right position.
Furthermore:
if the appliance seems too noisy check that the sides
are not touching furniture that can transmit or
amplify a noise or a vibration. Also, check that the
refrigerant unit does not vibrate.
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 apply
for it you specify the model and serial number of your
appliance which can be found on the warranty certificate
or on the rating plate on the bottom left side of the
appliance.
