Maintenance To Be Performed By Trained; Personnel Only; Periodic Cleaning Of Condenser; Replacing The Control Panel Bulb - Electrolux SMART 726599 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

D.2 MAINTENANCE TO BE PERFORMED
BY TRAINED PERSONNEL ONLY
Non-routine maintenance tasks must be performed by an
AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENT.
USE APPROPRIATE SAFETY GEAR
(GLOVES AND MASK) WHEN CARRYING
OUT ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATION.
ATTENTION:
do not touch the appliance if hands and/or feet are wet. Before
performing any cleaning or maintenance disconnect the
appliance from the electrical source and carefully unplug the
appliance. Do not remove safety guards. Wear protective
gloves when cleaning the condenser. Do not use scissors,
screwdrivers and sharp objects on the cooling circuit.
D.2.1 PERIODIC CLEANING OF CONDENSER
Periodic cleaning of the condenser unit depends on the fre-
quency of use of the appliance. The condenser must be
cleaned periodically to ensure the efficient operation of the
appliance and its continued high performance over time. It is
DANGEROUS AND UNADVISEABLE to remove the safety
guards. It is advisable to thoroughly clean the condenser slits
of the refrigerating unit at least once a month in a dusty envi-
ronment or once every three months in a closed and clean
environment. The condenser can be cleaned with a brush,
provided the bristles are not made of steel or a material that
can compromise good operation, or a vacuum cleaner to re-
move the dirt. Take maximum care not to bend the condenser
fins, as this would cause a reduction in the heat exchange. Do
not use pointed objects, as they may damage the condenser.
ATTENTION: the condenser is installed on the top
of the appliance. Do not clean the appliance with
jets of water.
D.2.2 REPLACING THE CONTROL PANEL BULB
To replace the light bulb under the control panel, proceed as
follows:
• disconnect from the power supply;
• remove the light bulb protective cover, loosening the self
tapping screw;
• replace the bulb with one of the same wattage or equal to that
indicated on the rating plate;
• replace the protective cover;
• connect to the power supply.
D.2.3 REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE
To replace the power supply cable proceed as follows:
• disconnect from the power supply;
• remove the electrical wiring protective cover;
• replace the power supply cable;
• refit the protective cover;
• reconnect to the power supply.
D.3 TROUBLESHOOTING
D.3.1 QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
In some cases faults can be remedied easily and quickly.
Below there is a list of possible faults and remedies:
A. The appliance does not start:
- check that the plug is properly inserted into the socket.
- check that there is voltage at the socket.
B. The internal temperature is too high:
- check the thermostat setting;
- check for a heat source in the vicinity;
- check that the door closes properly.
C. The appliance is excessively noisy:
- check that the appliance is standing level. A lopsided
appliance could set off vibrations.
- check that the appliance is not touching other
appliances or parts which could resonate;
If the defect persists after having carried out the checks de-
scribed above, contact the service center giving:
• the nature of the defect;
• the PNC (production code) of the appliance;
• the Ser. No. (serial number of the appliance).
Note: the code and the serial number are indispensable to
be able to trace the type of appliance and the date of
manufacture.
E.g.: PNC 726356 - Ser.No. 44600010
726356: Heavy Duty cabinet R134a
44600010: manufactured in 2004, week 46, 10th item.
D.4 WASTE DISPOSAL AND DEMOLITION
D.4.1 WASTE STORAGE
At the end of the appliance's working life, make sure it is dis-
posed of properly. Make sure you remove the doors before
scrapping the appliance.
Special waste materials can be stored temporarily while await-
ing processing for disposal and/or permanent disposal. In
any event, the binding environmental protection laws in the
country of use must be observed.
D.4.2 PROCEDURE FOR PRELIMINARY DISMANTLING OF
THE APPLIANCE
All countries have different legislation; provisions laid down by
the laws and the authorized bodies of the countries where
demolition takes place are therefore to be observed.
In general terms, the refrigerator must be taken to a special-
ized collection/demolition center.
Dismantle the refrigerator and group the components together
according to their chemical characteristics (plastic parts are
marked with letters identifying the material). Bear in mind that
the compressor contains lubricant oil and coolant, which can
be recycled, and that the refrigerator components are classed
as special waste that cannot be disposed of as urban waste.
Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the power supply
cable and removing the door and or locking mechanisms in
order to avoid the risk of anyone becoming trapped inside.
DISMANTLING OPERATIONS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
