Maintenance
Care When Handling / Moving the Unit
Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted by holding the
edges of the top surface.
Servicing
The unit should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to repair the unit yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may
cause injury or serious malfunction. Contact a qualified technician.
Switching Off for Long Periods of Time
When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains supply, empty all food and clean
the unit, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
Disposal
Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable
raw materials can be recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in the unit and insulation materials require
special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the unit are damaged prior to disposal.
Up to date information concerning options of disposing of your old unit and packaging from the new one can be
obtained from your local council office.
When disposing of an old unit break off any old locks or latches and remove the doors as a safeguard.
