MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Periodic cleaning
Wash the interior with lukewarm water and sodium
bicarbonate, and clean the painted components with
silicone wax; clean the condenser and the motor
compressor with a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This
operation will improve the operation of the appliance
and save energy.
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.

The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment can
be reached as follows:

SERVICING
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; the control knob is in the
right 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 refrigerant unit
does not vibrate.
If there is water on the fridge bottom, make sure the
defrost water drainage hole is not clogged (Fig. 11).
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact your local dealer or
the nearest service center.
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 warranty
certificate or on the rating plate, on the bottom left side
of the refrigerator compartment.
