MAINTENANCE
Prior to undertaking any maintenance operation, be
sure to unplug the appliance from the wall socket as
a safety precaution.
Clean the interior periodically with lukewarm
water and some bicarbonate of soda; the cabinet
exterior with a Silicone wax spray; the condenser
and the motor compressor with a brush or a vacuum
cleaner.
During periods when the appliance is not in use,
take the following precautions:
unplug the appliance from the power supply;
remove all foodstuffs from the appliance;
clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the doors ajar to facilitate the circulation of
air in the interior of the cabinet so as to prevent
unpleasant odours from accumulating in the
appliance.
Replacing the interior light bulb
The light bulb of the refrigerator can easily be
reached.
If the light does not come on when the door is
opened, check that the light bulb is correctly
screwed in; if after this it still does not light up,
replace the bulb.
The rating is shown on the light bulb cover.

CUSTOMER SERVICE
What to do if the appliance is not functioning
properly.
If something is not working 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.
Furthermore:
If the appliance seems too noisy, check that the
sides are not touching furniture that can transmit or
amplify a noise or a vibration.
Also, check that the piping of the refrigerant
system does not vibrate. If there are water drops on
the bottom of the cabinet, check that the defrost
water drain opening is not obstructed.
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 & serial number
of your appliance which can be found either in the
warranty or on the rating plate.
