SOMETHING NOT WORKING
If the appliance is not functioning properly check that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;
electricity is delivered; and controls are set to the cor-
rect position.
Furthermore:
If there are signs of presence of water on the bottom
of the cabinet check that the defrost water drain
opening is not obstructed (Fig. 16).
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact your local dealer or
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 on the rating plate lo-
cated inside the appliance at the bottom on the left
hand side.
