MAINTENANCE
Periodical cleaning
Before carrying out any maintenance operation, al-
ways disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm wa-
ter and sodium bicarbonate.
Clean the cabinet with a silicone-wax spray. The con-
denser and compressor should be cleaned using a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. This latter operation will
maintain the appliance’s excellent standards of per-
formance and save energy.
Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not used, you
should take the following precautions:
remove the plug from the wall socket;
remove all food from the appliance;
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door slightly open, thus letting air circulate
and preventing the formation of mould and unpleasant
smells.
Interior light
The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment can
be reached as follows:
- unscrew the light cover securing screw.
- unhook the moving part as shown in the figure.

SOMETHING NOT WORKING
If the appliance is not functioning properly check that:
the plug is firmly inserted into the wall socket and that
the mains power switch is on;
electricity is delivered, and controls are set to the cor-
rect position.
Furthermore:
if the appliance seems too noisy, check that the sides
of the cabinet are not touching furniture that can
transmit noise or vibrations and that the refrigerating
circuit tubes are not vibrating;
if there are signs of presence of water on the bottom
of the refrigerator compartment, check that the de-
frost 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 lo-
cated inside the appliance at the bottom on the left
hand side.
