What to do if the appliance is not functioning prop-
erly.
If something is not working properly, check that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;
there is an electricity supply (find out by plugging in
another appliance);
the thermostat knob is not on the «OFF» 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 piping of the refrigerant system
does not vibrate.
If there are water drops on the bottom of the cabinet
check that the defrost water drain opening is not ob-
structed (Fig. 12).
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find
already inserted into the discharge hole.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact the nearest service
centre.
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 either in the warranty or
on the rating plate.
