CLEANING AND SERVICE
NOTE:
Stop the mechanism by using the
main switch, and always take the plug out of
the wall socket for the period during which
cleaning or other maintenance work is
being done.
Cleaning the mechanism
Pull the cooling cabinet away from the wall.
Remove dust and other dirt from the
compressor area and from around the
condenser (black grill) at the back of the
appliance. This should be done regularly,
once a year.
The cleaning can be done easily using the
brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner, for
example. Dirt in the compressor area and
on the condenser weakens the functioning
of the mechanism and increases its electricity
consumption.
While the appliance is drawed away from
the wall it would be advisable to check that
the drain pipe is clean. If there is much dirt
in the drain pipe it is possible that water
doesn't drain like it should.
The drain pipe is situated over the
compressor.
Also the evaporation pan is advisable to
clean.
The door is advisable to adjust if it is not
straigth and even.
Stainless steel door frame is coated with
Easy Clean coating. It protects the
surface against dirt. Do not use cleaning
agent for steel surfaces because it
damages the protective coating.
CORRECTING MINOR DISORDERS
All functional disorders do not necessarily
require the help of service personnel. So
check first whether you can eliminate the
disorder with the aid of the following
instructions.
If there is no fault in the appliance, you
yourself will be obliged to pay the costs
arising from any servicing visits, also du-
ring the guarantee period.
If the cooling mechanism does not
work, check that:
•
you have followed the advice in the
operating instructions
•
the plug is properly in the socket
•
the fuse is intact
•
the main switch and operating switches
are in the ‘on’ position
•
there are no interruptions in electricity
distribution
NOTE!
If the temperature of the surroun-
dings becomes unusually high, the inter-
nal protective device of the compressor
may stop the mechanism. Depending on
the conditions, restarting may take ½ - 1
hour.
If the cooling capacity is poor:
•
check that the door is tightly closed
•
the door may have been opened of-
ten or kept open for too long
•
too many goods at a time may have
been put in to cool
•
the air circulation outside or inside
may have been hindered
