CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS
If the appliance is not functioning 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 in the correct position.
•
If there are water drops on the bottom of the
cabinet, check that the defrost water drain open-
ing is not obstructed (see “Defrosting” section).
•
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
apply for it you specify the model and serial number
of your appliance which can be found on the guar-
antee certificate or on the rating plate located inside
the appliance, on the bottom left-hand side.
Defrosting
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator
of the refrigerator compartment every time the
motor compressor stops, during normal use. The
defrost water drains out through a trough into a spe-
cial container at the back of the appliance, over the
motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the water over-
flowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use
the special cleaner provided, which you will find
already inserted into the drain hole.

Interior light
If the light does not come on when the door is open,
check that it is screwed into place properly.
If it still does not light up, change the bulb.
The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment
can be reached as shown in the figure.
The rating is shown on the light bulb
cover.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
take the following precautions:
remove the plug from the wall socket;
remove all food;
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to pre-
vent unpleasant smells.
