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 noise or vibration. Also, check
that the refrigerant unit does not vibrate.
If there is water on the fridge bottom, make sure
the defrost water drainage hole is not clogged
(Fig. 7).
To clean the drainage hole use the special cleaner
provided, which you will find already inserted into
the hole.
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 inside the appliance on the rating plate.
