•
Ensure the chest fridge is not connected to any electrical or gas supply when
cleaning
•
The chest fridge must be defrosted regularly in order to ensure a correct operation.
To defrost the appliance, disconnect it, empty it and if necessary use a cloth with hot
water.
•
Never immerse the fridge, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
•
Ensure no liquid remains in the fridge for any length of time.
•
Dry and clean the inside without using abrasive products.
•
Never use a knife or other sharp tool to remove ice.
•
If the appliance is to remain unused for a longer period, disconnect it, clean it and
leave the cover slightly open during storage to prevent unpleasant odours. Put some
talcum powder in the gasket of the lid.
•
If after such a period the fridge does not cool down, switch it off again and leave it
turned upside down for a few hours. Put it the right way up and connect again.
•
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not dismantle the fridge.
•
All repairs, if needed, particularly of the cooling unit or the gas burner system, can
only be carried out by a qualified electrical or gas technician.
