MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance operation,
always disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
Periodical cleaning
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm
water and sodium bicarbonate.
Clean cabinet outer surfaces with a silicone-wax
spray. The condenser and compressor should be
cleaned using a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This
latter operation will maintain the appliance’s
excellent standards of performance and save
energy.
To avoid water spillage it is recommended that the
water drain collector (Fig. 13) is periodically
cleaned.
Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not used, you
should take the following precautions:
remove the plug from the wall socket;
remove all food from the appliance;
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door slightly open, thus letting air
circulate and preventing the formation of mould and
unpleasant smells.
Interior light bulb
The light inside the refrigerator compartment is
easy to get at. All you have to do is to remove the
lamp from the fitting itself.
If the light does not come on when the door is
opened, check that it is screwed into place properly.
If it still does not light up, change the bulb.

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;
there is no power failure and the thermostat is set
to the correct position.
Furthermore:
If the appliance seems too noisy check that the sides
are not touching furniture that can transmit or
amplify noise or vibration. Also, check that the
piping of the refrigerant system does not vibrate.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact your local dealer
or the neares 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 inside the
appliance at the bottom on the left hand side.
