MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any operation, unplug the appliance.
Periodic cleaning
Wash the interior with lukewarm water and sodium
bicarbonate;
clean the cabinet exterior with a silicone wax spray;
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
unpleasant smells.
SERVICING AND SPARE PARTS
If the appliance is not functioning properly check
that:
the plug is firmly inserted in the wall socket and the
mains power switch is on;
there is no power failure;
the thermostat knob is in the right position.

Internal light
(Fig. 8)
The light in the refrigerator compartment is easy to
get at through the opening in the light holder.
If the light does not turn on when the door is
opened, make sure it is properly fitted; if the
malfunction continues, replace the bulb.

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
refrigerant unit does not vibrate.
If there is water on the fridge bottom, make sure
the defrost water discharge hole is not clogged
(Fig. 7).
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.
