10
(
Fig. 1
).
•
At least once a year clean dust away from the back part of the appliance body and the compressor.
A soft brush, electrostatic cloth or vacuum cleaner may be used for cleaning.

DO NOT use detergents containing abrasive particles, acid, alcohol or benzene for cleaning the
appliance inner and outer surfaces.

DO NOT use for cleaning cloths or sponges that have coarse surfaces intended for scrubbing.
Practical tips and observations
•
Do not keep bananas in the refrigerator – these fruits are sensitive to cold.
•
Do not keep prepared food and ready-to-cook (“heat and eat”) food in the same container.
•
Store in an airtight container in the appliance any foodstuffs that have a strong odour (e.g. fresh
fish, pâté de foie gras goose liver pâté, and cheese).
•
IF THE APPLIANCE IS TO BE LEFT SWITCHED OFF FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, LEAVE ITS DOORS
OPEN.
Remarks on the appliance operating noise
As the appliance operates and goes through the freezing cycle, various noises will be emitted. This is
normal and is not a sign of any malfunction.
•
As the refrigerant circulates around the refrigeration system, it causes sounds like murmuring,
bubbling, or rustling.
•
Louder sounds like popping or clicking may be heard for a short time as the refrigerator’s
compressor switches on.
OPERATION PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS (TROUBLESHOOTING)
What if …
•
The appliance is plugged in to the mains but it does not work and the electricity supply
voltage indicator is not illuminated.
Check that your house electricity supply installations are in
order. Check that the plug is correctly inserted into the electricity supply socket.
•
The noise has become louder.
Check that the appliance is standing stable, on a level place. To
make it level, regulate the front feet. Check if the appliance is not touching any furniture, and that
no part of the refrigeration system at the back part of the appliance body is touching the wall. Pull
the appliance away from any furniture or walls. Check that the cause of increased noise isn’t due to
bottles, cans or dishes in the appliance that might be touching each other.
•
Water has appeared at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment.
Check whether a thaw
water channel space isn’t blocked. Clean the thaw water channel space with a cleaner intended for
that purpose.
•
Water has appeared on the tempered glass shelves.
Food items or dishes in the refrigeration
compartment are touching the back wall of the compartment. Do not let food items or dishes touch
the back wall.
•
Water has appeared under the appliance.
The thaw water collection tray has slipped off the
compressor. Place the tray on top of the compressor.
•
When the appliance door is opened, the rubber sealing gasket pulls out.
The gasket is
smeared with sticky foodstuffs (fat, syrup). Clean the sealing gasket and the groove for it with
warm water containing soap or dishwashing detergent and wipe dry. Put the rubber sealing gasket
back into the place.
•
High temperature in appliance, the compressor operation pauses are short.
Ascertain
whether the appliance door is shutting tightly, whether the door wasn’t kept open longer than
necessary when taking out or putting in foodstuffs, or whether a large amount of warm food was
placed in the appliance.
•
The top of the appliance has condensation on it.
The ambient relative air humidity is above
70 %. Ventilate the room where the appliance stands, and if possible remove the cause of the
humidity.
